Ecuador's indigenous Shuar resist extinction as push for minerals grows

VIDEO EN CASTELLANO EN https://youtu.be/AVpbamWvdHA
The Grayzone's Oscar Leon interviews Tsunki Chup, a leader of Ecuador's Shuar people, who are currently being forced into extinction, and Angel Antip, former Shuar Federation President.

For years, the Shuar have been fighting their removal from one of the last biodiverse endemic areas on Earth.

Now, they face unprecedented pressure under the government of US puppet President Daniel Noboa, who has opened up his country's lands to satisfy the relentless US drive for copper and rare earth minerals.

This is the latest in a years-long series of reports by Leon on the Shuar's fight for survival in the face of over-extraction and political corruption.
