Panama Indigenous:
Yankee Go Home
The Panamanian Ng ñbe
Bugle indigenous
community decided to
request that the US
Peace Corps leave their
territories, confirmed
Pedro Rodriguez, leader
of that aboriginal
people.
Rodriguez explained that
the measure was adopted
in that region's general
congress, considering
that the US organization
was not beneficial in
any way to its
population, media
reports said on Friday.
He also said the
agreement approved was
not to renew a five-year
contract with Peace
Corps that was almost
expired.
The community is not
satisfied with the
presence of the Peace
Corps and prefers that
they leave the region,
because five years have
gone by "and I have seen
little or nothing in the
interest of the regional
development," said
Rodriguez.
He said that around 60
members of that US
entity have only studied
the customs and
traditions of the ethnic
group to make
presentations about them
in other countries.
The Ng ñbe Bugle region
occupies a vast and rich
territory in the
country's western area,
with a Caribbean
coastline. |
