Chile declares state of emergency over Mapuche conflict 

The indigenous people have rights to their motherland.

They are poor, marginalised, the young unemployed, left behind in most of economy prospects... Of course they are desperate and angry.

I’ll take with a big grain of salt the government’s narrative

You can't take away people's resources and feel that they will do nothing about it.

Not a fan of violence however the snakes in charge talk about dialogue when indigenous groups have been asking for exactly that for years without success all that time forestry & mining companies strip the land & what can't be farmed mined or sold is made into nature sanctuaries, And what about the inhuman nature that native peoples have had to endure at the hands of Some & settlers/farmers on what little land they are tacitly given to live on? something had to give & it has & nothing beyond either helping native cultures or their descendants to gain back their heritage in land will suffice.

I stand with the rebel group. Return their land.

Dialog = wait while we find someone we can buy as your representative. Shady arses "they" are! Don't give up.

Those of you familiar with the history of this region will understand that dialogue and some sort of land distribution program will be the only solution to this. I know you may not like the sound of land distribution, but it has to be on the table. The Mapuche are a large group of people who have historically defended their rights to their land but who also have a history of peaceful coexistance with those who do not encroach on their territory. They fought the Spanish for a very long time, and eventually the Spanish just agreed to leave them be, establishing an uneasy yet mutually beneficial relationship with the Mapuche that lasted until the Spanish were expelled from South America by the wars of independence. It was Chile and Argentina that reignited the wars and took over the Mapuche lands in the 19th century.

Solidarity with the Indigenous Peoples of Chile 🇨🇱 As a Native myself, I support them.

Government: steals resources from the locals Locals: steal resources back Government: Wait - that’s illegal! 😡

I stand with the indigenous people of Chile and anywhere in the world. Its their land.

I’m with the Mapuche, not the killing and burning houses but with their rights. Violence is not only the last resort but the most alarming. It tells everyone that something is wrong.

My neck, my back, Mapuche and my crack. I’ll see myself out

I'm riding with the mapuche!

Yes of course, how else will they get their rights to THEIR land? Hold protests? Now violence shows how much they are willing to fight for their land back when government does not listen or be fair.

I am Cree, I have sympathy for the mapuches. Creator/God be with them in their fight. But hope for peaceful outcome.

And the media still tries to gaslight them saying they are forcing away forest companies and taking their own land back😂 nice try

If you keep stealing their land they have right to defend what's there

🇨🇱: “these are terrorists and military force will solve this conflict” 🇮🇪: “You sure about that mate? Didn’t end too well up here”

Thank you for covering this!

Give them their land. It's that simple.

This is like what happened to us Bangsamoro in Mindanao and Palawan during the 1900s, US occupation government have send many Christian farmers settlers have given a free land and pushed away the native Muslim inhabitants until this day we will suffer from its effect.

Give the land to the right owner, the indigenous people.

Mapuche people, we are with you, do not give up

I stand with the mipuches

Self defense is never a crime, God bless the people in their struggle.

Give them back their land if you won't do it then don"t complain when they take it by force or make things worse for you .

We support native people including Palestinians. Give them their country back ✌🏾😁

Give the Mapuche their land back

We stand with the oppressed

The operations center of the "struggle for self-determination" of the Mapuches of Chile and Argentina has been located since 1978 at 6 Lodge Street, in the English port city.

“Conservatives applauded the state of emergency” so much for limited government.

They are like us we also fought for our rights and land we Moro people of philippines. Now the government recognized us and we're autonomous. Keep fighting for your rights.

In Mexico, in the mid 90's, some random guy, subcomandante Marcos, and his guerrilla did the same in the state of Chiapas. Guerrilla forces rose up in arms to fight against the injustices of the government towards the local indigenous communities. Guess what? Marcos cared little or nothing about the natives. Same thing might be happening here. The leader of the insurgent group might not care about the Mapuches; he has his own interests. For those who know nothing or so little about Latin America, in this region, whenever there is an armed uprising, there are always personal interests, but, it is never about the people. Having said that, I hope innocent people do not get hurt.

Is it a bad thing for indeginous people to fight for their lands? Can you really blame them for doing so?

I learned recently that my father is a native 🇨🇱 Métis . The tribe he was from is Mapuche

Chile is just looking for excuses to limit rights and do unconstitutional actions in those areas, the Mapuche struggle is right.

Chiapas 2.0? The revenge of the natives.

These people simply want what belongs to them, they’re guarding their land and people call them terrorist?

All solidarity to the indigenous people. Its their land!

Those of us who live on the edge of being gentrified out of existence are in solidarity with the Mapuche. Our cultures are being wiped out by big money and big business.

Stand strong mapuche!

MARRICHIWEW! While I don't agree with killing, our struggle has gone on long enough.

Imagine the original wanting their land back. It belongs to them. Sorry for those who died

Return the stolen land

Never give, freedom doesn't come up easily because it's so sweet that whoever have can't give it without a fight. Get back your land

Hemos vuelto a 1881 cuando el ejército chileno declaró la guerra de la araucanía...

Piñeira idiots no pudo manejar un conflicto como este.

The land is legally theirs, where is the UN, the whole continent needs to protest and help protect indigenous people.

Viva el Mapuche , take back what's yours to have!!

power to all my brothers and sisters fighting for there birth right ,,never STOP Loving, xx

About time indigenous people fight back again.

My congratulations to the Mapuche people ! Hasta la revolucion siempre !!!

Same should do all natives in the world

Please, if you are going to talk about this, you need to inform better, there are paramilitary groups in the region and economic interests, the government and right wing groups are the only one that is 100% sure about mapuches being guilty...

So the mapuchis are regaining their own land that was taken from them ?

how many straws did the Mapuche rebels take to make Chile this mad

Hopefully the natives have their land back.

What's wrong with these governments? Don't take what doesn't belong to you.

Good job boys

A votar por Kast 100% . 50%+1 para ahorrar dinero

Give the land back to the Mapuche!!

Forget to call them terrorist

Everyone must be standing up for the Mapuche struggle to get back the stolen lands that belongs to them for thousands of years . Not only Chile should stop at once the massacring , but give them a big , huge compensation for the pain and misery for all the atrocities committed to them for five hundred years already , like health care assistance , education and everything they want .

Solution here isn't so hard give back to them their land and make a market for their farm goods so they can sell i cannot imagine it takes so many years of conflict when the Solution clearly obvious

they should have their land back, but those who killed the farmer should be held accountable.

Aagh yes, the table is slowly turning and in our favor. Fight, fight, fight for what was stolen!

This is thier land give them and stopped war plz we are facing this from 40 years 96000 people has been killed by Pakistani army and state plzzz it's worth to stop war

So it's basically between colonists and natives....we all knew what happened to them in Americas ....only in Asia and Africa natives rose back to power

Wow Chile was the most peaceful Country in South America, indigenous people need to be respected because it's their country they are inhabiting Chile for 1000s of years

I'm Asian American and back the Mapuches.

Fuerza al pueblo chileno desde el otro lado de la cordillera. Desháganse de esa mugre bárbara de una vez por todas.

It is not right to take away the lands from the Mapuche who have lived their for hundreds of years. There should be peace, cooperation, & dialogue. Let the Mapuche live in peace & not let greedy corporations take away their homeland.

Yes! We must rise!

A story as old as time it seems...

I hope the Maphche get their land back. I’m glad the new generation are standing up.

Victory for Mapuche

Solidarity with the Mapuche and their struggle for their ancestral homelands.

is that redhead old lady a mapuche too? why is she wearing half a mountain as a necklace? wtf

Live by the sword, die by the sword. What these people are doing, is what was done to every one throughout history. My only problem is when people wrap themselves up in self-righteousness .... To justify the violence they commit onto others. The truth of the matter is the only land or property that is owned by anyone is and was taken by and defended by force. PERIOD!! These people that are trying to take land now, are in-fact creating another group of people and the generations that follow ..... Lay grievance that it was them that have been wronged and they have a right to take back what was stolen. At the end of the day ... The only way to resolve this, short of a final solution .... Is to just get along by leaving folks alone. Stop with these huge one government rules .... go back to more local control

One does have to question, how the heck a group of supposedly poor people got access to military equipment? That stuff aint cheap Riddle me that

americans: the land belongs to the Mapuches!! give it back (while that American is living in a country where their indigenous people suffered the same fate and even way worse)

One problem with the dialogue option is, well... who do you dialogue with and ehat do you dialogue with? What many don't seem to understand is that "mapuches" technically don't exist as a proper group, it is the term used for the several groups of people that speak mapudungun, like pehuenches or picunches and more. And those groups are divided into clans, tribes and family groups. Each with their own opinion, which is actually fairly traditional to the mapuche (a reason why the spanish simply couldn't cut the head like woth the incas and aztecs). Groups want different stuff, from full independence (a minority), recognition and help by the state (mayority) and that the status quo is kept (a minority too, but bigger than the full independence). The fact is that negociations and dialogue have been attempted and some compromises have been made (even the dictatorship searched an agreement with the mapuches), but none that everyone agreed, since there is always a group that stays out or rejects the agreement. There is still willingness to talk, and the mapuches plight is even seen in a sympatetic light by an increasing number of people, but the general consensus is that these armed groups are criminals that must be stopped. Not because of their supposed reason to fight, but because of their actions. They have burned trucks, churches, rural hospitals and equipment, they have confirmed links to drug cartels, they are heavely armed (prohibited on Chile) and they have killed several people, from cops to agricultural workers, to old people whose only crime was living in some land their grandparents bought. They even attack other, less radical mapuches. So the military isn't deployed to destroy the mapuche people, many want dialogue with them. But with this criminals? Those are the reason the army is there

When your weapon only holds 4 rounds. 🤡🤣

well late tho but atleast these people started anti colonism against the colonizers who stole their lands and money

What u mean violence is last resort? Have peaceful protest ever worked? Anger is a gift

There won't be countries anymore if this keeps up. Next thing you know, Man won't own his own house; because his kids would demand ownership over each room...

So they're labeled as terrorists for trying to take back their land

You can only push a person so far to the edge of a cliff before that person decides to fight back and try to throw you off the cliff.

Mapuche take back your land by any means necessary✊

So many anglos jumping to conclusions on a 3 min video smh

Dose anyone else remember that time the US destabilized the chilean government?

You see terrorists, I see freedom fighters.

Viva la vida y la naturaleza fuera las empresas devastadoras forestales que roban agua.

Thanks Intellectweb

The straw man excuse saying they are there for public safety

Rev up the helicopter engines, looks like we're flying to the coast again!

they have the right

Give them their land back!

It's a conflict way more complex than what they are explaning here, it's not poor mapuche vs evil goverment, since mapuche have been killed or tortured by these groups. Don't stay with these outside view
