Justice takes but does not forget. For the announcement of the Minister of Women, Fanny Montellanos, given last Wednesday, to investigate the horror unleashed in the Wampís nation, for the use of children as human shields for illegal miners, a new chapter opens in the fight against Impunity in the Amazon.
The head of the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations (MIMP) said that the government was just aware of the complaint. “It is real terrible the situation of these children Wampís, but we barely become knowledge. We are also articulating with the Public Ministry and other institutions to also help the Prosecutor’s Office, and that the investigation is given famous and that the entire justice system can act in a timely manner, ”he said.
The Wampís nation claims justice while the jungle keeps the echo of an atrocious crime: indigenous children used as shields for illegal miners, innocent bodies exposed to violence in the excessive eagerness for the exploitation of dirty gold.
The testimony of Teófilo Kukush Paati, made today on Channel N, nakes an even more sinister truth: Wampís forced girls for motherhood by the brutality of the invaders.
The worst is feared: sexual exploitation, human trafficking, a cycle of violence that sweeps entire generations. And while the jungle is silent, the rivers drag stories that cry out to be heard. Is the investigation an act of justice or just another promise to fade as mist in the thickness?
The Wampís nation is made up of 16,000 people distributed in 85 communities. It is estimated that a large number of children have been affected, mainly in the communities of Guayabal, Bonham, Belén and San Juan.
