In the Mapuche territory, in the south of Chile, a beautiful coordinated attack conducted in full day made great noise on Thursday, May 6, 2021 in the region of Araucanía. It is nothing less than eight incendiary attacks in less than 6 hours, from noon to 6 pm, against no less than 26 machines of all types (trucks, carriers, skidders) of the forest industry, which destroys and operates the forests of the territory, and is the subject of a fierce opposition by certain Mapuche groups.
In the midst of the cries of various state stooges who are now asking to reinstate the state of siege in the region or to involve the army to protect the loggers-in particular because a cop who came to stop the attacks took a shot in his bulletproof vest-, this attack was claimed by the RESISTENCIA WEICHAN AUKA MAPU (WAP) group, which left a message on one of the eight sites taken for target:
“Freedom For Mapuche political prisoners and those of revolt. Down with the forest industry, gravel industry, landlords, hydroelectric dams. Down with the Yanaconas. Marichiweu.” This last word, a well-known battle cry in Chile, means in Mapuche “ten and a thousand times we will defeat them”. Yanaconas is a pejorative term that refers to the “traitors”, or the Mapuche working for the forest industry.
