The anarchy of the Yukpas in Zulia

I am a defender of the rights of the native peoples, since they are our roots, but when politics and anarchy surround and distort their culture, then the perspective changes and mutual respect is lost.
For years the inhabitants of Zulia have been living a martyrdom with the irruption of the Yukpa ethnic group in the cities and surrounding areas, since they have become locusts and predators supported by the national and local governments, imposing their whims, not at all in accordance with their culture and carrying out acts of pillage that harm the interests of the people.
They were brought in as pawns of the politicians to alter the good life and blame each other for the abandonment they are subjected to in their lands located in the Sierra de Perijá, where landowners have been stripping them of their habitat and brought evils to their lands.
The move got out of hand and the brought indigenous have been taking spaces where they force passers-by to be collaborators of their expenses or simply of their whims, creating mafias of gasoline sale, which they obtain as gifts by pressuring the pumps to do so or else they will not let them sell fuel, under the complicit look of the government officials.
They also invade other people's lands with sheds or materials used for the sale of scrap metal, destroying the properties and then leaving them abandoned, without the laws working and allowing them to be evicted.
It is common on the road to Perijá to come across roadblocks made by these people, placing tree trunks and demanding a payment to allow them to circulate, as well as points of sale of gasoline, as well as communities that take distributors or public spaces to live in.
The degradation of the native culture with the insertion of vices that do not identify it at all, not only creates a wrong vision of it, but also contaminates a group of inhabitants that conform it, who as godfathers of the mafia, believe they are immune to the laws and to respect their fellow men.
Those responsible for this should be pointed out and those who violate the rules punished, in order to create a precedent in which sharing is part of good living and not extortion or theft.
It is not necessary to wait for the blood to reach the river and for the citizens to respond to the aggressions and create a battle of extermination to preserve health and property.
This is really so sad and heart breaking... I just hope the government and other external charitable agencies can come to their aid.
Thanks for sharing this great post with love from @hardaeborla and I hope you have a great day ahead 💞😊
Hello @joseph1956, It is a real shame to see how this indigenous ethnic group is being used for bad purposes and how they allow themselves to be used and rely on their own condition to commit misdeeds.
I think it's not just a question of bad social policies that are protecting them in the wrong way, I think it's more a question of taking advantage of their condition to lead to social unrest and promote bad behavior, which you have very well called "anarchy". "
Exactly, that's just as you say.
It is a sad reality friend @jose1956 as this type of event have been occurring for some time and it seems that this is widespread, so that they take advantage of their condition to carry out misdeeds. Greetings
Hello friend, a very complex issue that is reality in our state, for me the culprits are the government, since they should not have allowed the dispossession of the original lands of this indigenous ethnic group.
Greetings and thanks for your valuable post.
Hello @joseph1956
I didn't know about these atrocities committed by aborigines, who eventually end up as some kind of crooks. If they already joined the "civil" society learning all the bad stuff, they should equally pay for that, with jail. But of course, it is possible that this does not happen because they are protected by people who benefit from them.
It is a rather complicated issue, actually, of difficult resolution.
It is an issue that harms the interests of citizens and that ends up being an injustice for the majority, since in the end these are instruments of bad politics on both sides.

Hi dear friend @jose1956
it is never good that this happens, anarchy only brings suffering, seeing this type of news makes me thank god sometimes I complain about things like lack of electricity but seeing those people in that state makes me thankful
god bless you
The detail is that here the anarchy is produced by bad practice of the laws and by political interests.
Hi @joseph1956.
A real pity that they take advantage of our indigenous people in this way, since they are the beginning of our societies, and part of our history as a country, I did not know the information you share, but now I know, I will still investigate a little more.
