As an independent foreigner I express my deep discontent what happen in the Peruvian jungle. It is sad to watch that a beautiful country like Peru again make bad headlines and this just after few month after Peruvian parliament was resolved because of a corruption scandal in which all ministers were ask to resign. I ask myself- How could a situation escalate and end up in blood sheet? Was this not evitable with more dialogue and political wisdom? Are we here dealing with possible professional, moral or mental incapacity from leading figures in charge? International independent broadcasting gave quit different versions than some state controlled Medias. Freedom of expression as one of most vital sign form democracy seems to be under pressure again. It seems that some of corrupted countries elites don’t mind too much about selling out the country little by little- no matter the prize. The world should be interested for what is happen here because if Peruvian jungle gets more damaged than effects of climate change on the whole planet will be worst, more hunger more poverty and more instability will be the consequence. Peru should matter to all of us- no matter were we are. I think it is a good sign that ONU spoke out about current events. I hope for peace, for more Justice here, and more job giving investment in within respect of environment. Most of all I hope for a better way to understand the word democracy.
