Amazing to see efforts in Scotland to replicate processes such as T-622 of the Colombian Constitutional Court, which draws on the worldviews of Choco’s Afro and Indigenous communities to recognise the legal personhood of the Atrato River.

Our Who Own the Clyde citizen investigation has taken a bold new step. Please, if you're minded to do so, sign our petition to grant Scottish rivers, including the River Clyde, the legal right to personhood https://t.co/GhcsvbwnbZ @TheEmpireCafe

After the ELN’s announcement of an armed blockade in areas of Choco, first reports of forced displacement of communities now coming through

[Foro Interétnico Solidaridad Chocó- FISCH @FISCHETNICO]

🔴URGENTE | Desplazamiento forzado en Sipí y Nóvita (Chocó) 28 familias incluyendo 50 menores, han abandonado su hogar por temor a la violencia. Se requiere atención integral inmediata para proteger a estas comunidades vulnerables. #CrisisHumanitaria #Chocó

[Colombia River Stories @ChocoStories]

Solidarity with the communities of Choco. As the conflict escalates in the region, the ELN has announced an indefinite “paro armado” around San Juan - essentially a blockade of the area that confines people to their homes and limits travel. #PazParaElChoco

[Foro Interétnico Solidaridad Chocó- FISCH @FISCHETNICO]

Rechazamos el paro armado del ELN en el San Juan. Este etnocidio confina a 27,000 personas y obliga el desplazamiento como el acontecido hoy en Buenas Brisas-hacia Istmina. Exigimos acción inmediata del Gobierno y la comunidad internacional. ¡Basta de violencia! #PazParaElChocó
