Rondonia, The Pistolandiaby ~Latuff2

Traditional Art / Drawings / Political

Rondonia is a state in Brazil, located in the north-western part of the country. Much of Rondonia's area is Amazon rainforest.

"...The large landowners or ranchers (fazendeiros) are a politically powerful force in Brazil. Many are congressmen, senators, as well as businessmen. A well organized constituency of ranchers formed the Uniao Democratica Ruralista (UDR) to plan and promote their agenda in the country...

...Hundreds of rural farmers and workers have been shot at gun point, en masse and ambushed by gunmen hired by landowners. It is common for the military state police to be directly responsible for the assissinations of peasant activists and small landowners. Farmers under threat have little recourse to justice or protection once they become targets of these hitmen..."
