At least four members of the Indigenous Guard and an indigenous governor, Cristina Bautista, have been killed on September 29 in an armed attack in the municipality of Toribió, in the department of Cauca, in Colombia. Six other people were injured, says the Telesur website.
A statement from the Association of Indigenous Councils of Toribío, Tacueyo and San Francisco “Project Nasa” explained that “the indigenous guard was carrying out territorial control work in the La Luz sector of the Tacueyó shelter, when a black vehicle arrives with members of the Dagoberto Ramos column who, in disrespect for the indigenous guard and his legitimate exercise, fired mercilessly, ending the life of the Neehwesx Cristina Bautista, and 4 other communeers and wounding at least 6 other companions”.
The Regional Indigenous Council of Cauca (CRIC) explained that the indigenous authorities were ambushed in the village of La Luz and the vehicles in which they were transported were thrown into the void.
