Opérations minières canadiennes en Amérique Centrale

Nely Rivera de Silva est membre du Centre de Recherche sur l' Investissement et le Commerce (CEICOM), organisation qui
fait de la recherche et de l'éducation sur les impacts des investissement miniers au Salvador. Elle travaille présentement
dans une organisation transfrontalière du Salvador et du Guatemala pour lier les différents réseaux anti-miniers
de ces deux pays afin d'arrêter le projet minier de Cerro Blanco de la compagnie Goldcorp. La mine de Cerro Blanco
est située sur la frontière Guatemala/Salvador et menace de contaminer l'eau et les éco-systèmes des deux côtés de la frontière. Alors qu'ils travaillaient au Guatemala, Nely ainsi que d'autres membres du CEICOM ont été séquestrés, volés et menacés de mort par des inconnus.
La mort récente d'activistes environnementaux et anti-miniers au Guatemala et au Salvador
et l'intimidation constante contre les organisateurs anti-miniers prouvent qu'il y a un besoin urgent
d'augmenter les actions de pression contre les compagnies et les gouvernements qui les supportent. Ceci afin
d'assurer que les communautés affectées par les minières puissent choisir librement et consciemment
le type d'activité affectant leur mode de vie.
C'est dans cet objectif que Canadians Against Mining in El Salvador (CAMES) et avec le support d'organisation
communautaires et syndicales a mis sur pieds cette tournée de conférence à Toronto, Ottawa et Montréal.
