Peru Approves US Soldiers as Indigenous Women Plead for Help at United Nations

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, July 28, 2023

There was an enormous amount of testimony before the United Nations and much of it we never hear about. Mothers in Peru, desperate for help, said children are being murdered, as those who marched against the current coup are being stalked and killed. Between December and March, Peru's police and army killed 77 people during protests.

Peru voted to bring in the US military, from June until December 2023. The US soldiers in Peru are from US special forces, the US air force, and the US space force, according to Merco Press.

In the jungles of Peru, Indigenous women have no way to battle US special forces and US satellites. Indigenous in the Amazon testified to the UN Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Geneva.
