Two Qeqchi Leaders Killed Over Nickel Mine Dispute
Sunday, September 27 on land claimed by the community of Las Nubes, which CompaƱia Guatemalteca de Niquel (CGN), a subsidiary of Manitoba's HudBay Minerals, also claims to own.
Central America is definitely not on the UK's domestic news radar. Regrettably this is not because the region is stable, peaceful and prosperous, but rather because its particular problems - human trafficking, drug cartels, poverty and inequality to name but a few - have little economic or political implications for Britain. After spending some time translating and reporting for Guatemalan news agency, Inforpress, I was inspired and compelled to bring the issues that Guatemala faces to a audience here at home.
