A COMPLAINT TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY SEE WHERE SOME OF THE AGRO COME IN BRAZIL THEY ATTACK LIVES AND NOW THE NEW MODE OF AIRPLANE FLYING OVER WITH POISONS DISCHARGING IN INDIGENOUS VILLAGES IN MATO GROSSO DO SUL BRAZIL

 

 POISON RAIN - "It was 4 am, it was still

 dark, and my grandfather thought it was

 raining, because of the noise of the drops

 hitting the canvas ceiling. When he left, he

 smelled a very stinky smell and realized 

it was pesticides", says Erileide Domingues ,

 leader of the Guyraroká village. "We live in the

 midst of poison. We breathe, eat, drink and 

wear the poison they throw," he says. The night

spraying with planes is yet another chapter in the

 conflicted relationship between the Guarani-Kaiowá

 and their neighboring farmers. The cases are so 

frequent and systematic in Mato Grosso do Sul that

 they were defined as "chemical aggression" by the

 MPF. "It's like a war. They started with gunfire to

 intimidate and tractors pushing our huts. Then they

 started attacking us with poison, which is a weapon

 that kills little by little. They want to run with us from

 here, but we're going to resist", says Ezequiel João,

 leader of the Guyra Kambi'y settlement. According

 to legislation, spray planes can only fly more than

 500 meters away from inhabited areas. This is not

 what can be seen in several snapshots recorded by

 cell phones of low-flying and overflights in

 indigenous lands in the region.
