Peru's Amazon evacuated due to threat of indigenous attack
土著人襲擊 秘魯亞馬遜地區疏散居民
Brandishing sticks, isolated indigenous tribe members gesture and yell as they approach a residential community in Peru's Amazon region.Residents have been evacuated following what was deemed an attack by the Mashco Piro tribe who were demanding food and supplies, authorities say. Guillermo Bardiles videotaped the Monte Salvado Community under attack. (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) MONTE SALVADO COMMUNITY MEMBER, GUILLERMO BARDALES (WHO SHOT IMAGES OF COMMUNITY AFTER ATTACK), SAYING: "They were already entering the community, pointing arrows. Then I got scared but as we understand them, I told them to not throw arrows at us because they hurt. They understood and put their arrows down and another few entered all over and others were entering from above, they had practically surrounded the village. The only thing to do was to escape." Peru's Vice-Minister of Intercultural Affairs Patricia Balbuena. (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) PERU'S VICE-MINISTER OF INTERCULTURAL AFFAIRS,PATRICIA BALBUENA, SAYING: "We did not know until that moment, the gravity or number of settlers in isolation that were surrounding the community and indeed how the village was being affected. Those two points, led us to - with the community itself - decide to evacuate." But this isn't the first time an indigenous community has launched such an attack. In May, a tribe was reported to have raided a tourist lodge for metal pots.
