MEXICO: Known for being partying, gambling, romanticized mafia, right? Shut up. MEXICO IS DYING.
A subway has fallen in Mexico, and there are THOUSANDS of people dead and many more missing. If you have time to fix your house for "Cinco de Mayo" YOU HAVE TIME TO HELP AS YOU CAN. RETWEET AS MANY TWEETS YOU FIND IN THIS #, PEOPLE ARE DISSAPEARED. #MetroCDMX
OUT OF WATER: Eighty-five percent of Mexico's territory currently has drought conditions, and residents of the central region said Thursday that lakes and dams are drying up, including the second-largest body of freshwater in the country.
It is mentioned that “Zero Day” is very close, it is called that when a place is going to run out of water in the near future, either due to water stress, overexploitation or poor resource management, to mention some of the causes.
The problem of water sustenance in Mexico has been the main issue and concern of all Mexicans, since 15 states are about to run out of water, according to the World Resources Institute, so the supply and demand of the substance can affect not only the lack of water to do their +
chores and daily toilets but also economically, this is called water stress when the demand for drinking water is higher than the amount available.

CORRUPTION: Corruption is the primary structural issue that has made violence a prevalent factor in Mexico. The collusion of authorities with criminals has been extensively recorded since the 19th century but has reached outrageous levels in present times. This collusion is +
crucial to understanding why the levels of impunity have been consistently over 95 percent since the 1990s. Corruption has become a defining aspect of Mexico’s political culture, leading to far-reaching consequences.
On September 26, 2014, students from a teacher training school in rural southern Mexico commandeered some buses. Their ultimate destination was Mexico City for a demonstration. But those buses never arrived. And 43 of the students went missing along the way and were presumed +
killed in and around the town of Iguala. Although their remains have never been found, their deaths were variously blamed on corrupt local political and police officials, as well as higher-ups in the Mexican military and the government and, of course, the drug gangs.
Now Mexican journalist Anabel Hernandez has published an exhaustive look into the events of that night. Her book is called "A Massacre In Mexico: The True Story Behind The Missing 43 Students." She told us the official version of the events was a fabrication.
ANABEL HERNANDEZ: In this official version, the Mexican government said that the army and the Federal Police - they didn't know anything about what was happening. And they just get notice two or three hours after everything ends. This is the official story. What I have seen all +
these years - four years of the investigation - is that all this official version is a lie. It's not true.
HUMAN TRAFFICKING: The fight against this trafficking is complicated by the deep involvement of the country’s notorious drug cartels in the business. Narco gangs like the Zetas — a criminal army founded by defectors from the Mexican military — have diversified their portfolio +
to include kidnapping, extortion, theft of crude oil, gun running and lucrative human-trafficking networks. It’s impossible to know the exact value of Mexico’s human-trafficking trade, though the U.N. estimates the global industry to be worth $32 billion a year. “As the drug war
r has become more intense, the networks that traffic women have made their pacts with cartels,” says Jaime Montejo, a spokesman for Brigada Callejera, a sex-worker support group in Mexico City. “Those that don’t cannot survive.”
In addition to selling women for sex, Mexican cartels also have been known to kidnap women and girls and use them as their personal sex slaves. “Human-trafficking crimes have a devastating effect on victims and their families,” says Rosi Orozco, who served as a Mexican federal +
deputy, drafting the new law, and now works closely with prosecutors. “There are parents who are searching and searching for their children and can’t sleep because of this nightmare.”

The economy has been severely affected by the pandemic, many have lost their jobs and their incomes have been reduced. Government support has been scant in broad terms. Another reason that generates impotence is how President Iván Duque spends exorbitantly large amounts +
on political advertising for his person, being something irrelevant at this moment. Everything is conflictive, given that families (of the middle and lower class) are the most affected by the high cost of having all the needs satisfied. The current legal minimum wage is not high+
enough to withstand these types of increases. Also in PEACEFUL marches they are killing them and attacking them, when they did nothing, the government is attacking them without reason.
From 2016 to 2019, 777 social leaders were murdered. Which increased by 61% between January and June of last year, having 310 social leaders assassinated.
And so far in 2021, 52 social leaders have been assassinated.

And so far in 2021, basically every half hour we have a case of displacement, with approximately 168 displaced persons per day.
Last year 630 murders of women were registered, which increased by 8.8% in 2021.

The people of San Cristóbal run out of water because it is diverted to the factory of this company. (Coca Cola) It takes 70 liters of water to produce one liter of soda.
THEY THINK OF LEAVING NO INTERNET IN ALL COLOMBIA TO SHUT UP THEIR PEOPLE!
"CALI OF DUTY" Cali is the name of the place where all of this is exploding. THEY THINK IT'S A JOKE, THEY'RE KILLING PEOPLE THINKING ITS A JOKE.

There is also an application that creates a network through Bluetooth, that is, no data or Internet is required, it has been used in protests and natural disasters, the app is called Bridgefy! The more people download it the better. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.bridgefy.main
TRAD: CALI: 22 deaths who await responses. In the setting of one week of protesting, the city registers today 22 homicides, between them young Nicolás Guerrero, cousin of the mayor Jorge Iván Ospina, presumably by the ESMAD. The city asks for the causes and those responsible.
The president of Colombia, Iván Duque, took the military to the streets of the main cities to control demonstrations and riots that reject his tax reform. But the decision causes fear in a country battered by more than half a century of armed conflict.
Accompanied by the army commander, he announced on Saturday that he will use the figure of "military assistance" to combat "those who, through violence, vandalism and terrorism, seek to intimidate society."
THIS, IS WHAT THEY'RE SENDING TO INNOCENT, DISARMED PEOPLE.
The five days of protests against the tax reform in Colombia left at least 19 dead and more than 800 injured, according to the Ombudsman's Office.
They are the first official figures after days of reports of deaths during the protests for a tax reform that finally this Sunday President Iván Duque asked to withdraw.
The Ombudsman's Office said that since April 28, 18 civilians and a policeman have been killed in protests in various cities in the country.
In addition, there were 846 injuries, including 306 civilians.

They have been in quarantine for more than a year, poverty has exceeded 50% and the majority of poor children and adolescents in the country die from malnutrition. About two or three months ago there was an intentional deforestation in the south of the country which the +
government never paid attention to. Citizens of El Bolsón and its surroundings lost everything, the original peoples who lived in those lands had to flee from there because it meant dying or surviving from the fire. There is a mining activity that overexploits the land and most +
of the chemicals end up in the lakes, from where the water we drink comes from. In Chubut, when the president was the protesters, they have been stoned out for allowing human rights and the main environmental protection laws to be violated.
Femicides are increasing every day and Argentine justice frees rapists and femicides. there are cases of more than 5 years that are not solved and the families of the victims do everything possible so that it is not another case filed. the kidnappings of women are getting worse +
every day and even a week ago I (the creator of the thread, not me) had an attempted kidnapping / rape in my city at 5 in the afternoon and nobody did anything, the women's police station only once took me statements and they ended up filing my case due to lack of evidence.
The police abuse that there is is incredible, every day there are more kids who are murdered by the military and nobody does anything, women are harassed or victims of femicide by the same policemen who remain totally unpunished for being part of security.
The teachers each month charge less or directly DO NOT CHARGE, the state completely abandoned both public and private education and students have not yet managed to organize ourselves to be able to make ourselves listen to this problem that has been coming for a year and there +
are no solutions.
UPDATE: this month (May) the rates are going to increase because they have to pay the debt with the IMF and the IMF requires that taxes rise to pay them. They are taking money from us even where we don't have it, food will also increase and poverty continues to rise.
Retirees / pensioners are one of the most affected also since more than one has a shitty salary and hopefully they come to pay for basic services, obviously, not counting those elderly who pay rent who go up all the time.
The media doesn't even talk about the fact that TEHUEL DE LA TORRE has been missing for almost two months and nobody talks about him. the government of buenos aires only asks for DATA that can find his whereabouts and offers 2 million pesos+
as long as someone gives him information about him, NOT FINDING HIM. Keep in mind, Tehuel is a trans man, the transphobia is rampant and the authorities don't give a fuck for trans lives.
HE IS TEHUEL. WHERE IS HE? DÓNDE ESTÁ TEHUEL?

Also, really recently we learned about "The women of the forest" in Formosa, pregnant women separated from society, hiding in a forest because their newborn babies are taken from them. The voice of this was given when a program entered the province THAT DID NOT LET THEM PASS.
Not happy with that, EVERY 35 HOURS A WOMAN IS KILLED, there were 70 feminides in Argentina during the first quarter of the year.
Education is terrible, we are talking about 45% of the inhabitants being poor but they want the kids to have VIRTUAL CLASSES. Where do you want them to connect? Is awesome.
They took quick measures to hide and try to lift WHAT DROPPED THE MEDICAL SERVICE WAS, not to mention that we have a president who treats them as "relaxed" while they were working tirelessly.
Let's talk about mile 201; Many foreign boats stay at mile 200 (Free Sea to fish) and then illegally enter mile 201 (Argentine Sea), and attack the fauna there to sell it in their countries. This makes us spend a lot of money on security and it really makes a lot of it happen.
Not only that, I repeat, THEY ATTACK THE SEA FAUNAS.
In the quarantine there were cases like those of M. (M is the nickname that was given to the case so as not to say the name of the minor) or TEHUEL, A TRANS BOY WHO WENT TO LOOK FOR WORK AND STILL DOES NOT APPEAR.
Nor should we ignore the FIRES that were supposedly so that industries could work and the floods whose damages people had to pay without the slightest help from the government.
PERÚ: My country. The llama one. Yeah. We're not that good neither.

- Media control
- Does not support LGBTI rights
- Nationalize private companies
and more proposals that would trigger unemployment and the closure of many companies operating in the country

Due to this uncertain scenario, the dollar has skyrocketed and the prices of food, rents, tickets, exchange rates for those who have pending payments / debts and + begin to rise. Investments are compressed and therefore many of us are at risk of losing our jobs.
Without forgetting that we are still in the middle of a pandemic and the month of April was the deadliest for our country since all this began and it seems to have no end, the arrival of vaccines does not give a shred of hope, if not that there are beginning to be cheap shopping+
and sneak sales. Congressmen who were secretly vaccinated and meanwhile hospitals collapse, mafias appear, the price of oxygen balloons skyrockets and vulnerable populations continue to suffer.
Many talk about emigrating, out of fear of the results of the next elections, only saying it and making fun of the situation is easier than doing it. The reality is that we live in fear that what little we have built as a working class will collapse, and the future +
of our loved ones and family members is affected. With a political, economic and health system on the verge of collapse, in addition to the poor education we are receiving, what is left for us to do?

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN GUATEMALA?

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN GUATEMALA?
On May 8 there will be a march so that Giammattei (the president) resigns and they tell us where the money is and that they finally give us the vaccines since this has been going on for a long time and they do not lift a finger to do it.
There are many people with covid, they die even more in hospitals than at home. Currently we are also suffering a lot from violence and robbery due to the economic situation. Extortions and murders for non-payment are more frequent.
In Guatemala, the president has stolen ALL the money for vaccines and has excused himself by saying that "the funds are not enough" when we know perfectly well that they are donations and yet they deny it.
For more than months we have been asking this man to return the MILLIONS that he stole and never did.
IMAGE TRANSLATION: "The first eight million Sputnik V vaccines have just been paid for out of a total of 16 million doses" Which corresponds to a value of Q614 million 500 thousand, which would serve to vaccinate approximately half of the population Guatemalan.
Apart from all that, let's talk about what happens with women, nobody talks about the fact that almost every day there is news of kidnappings, rapes and massacres, it is something that every day we fight to stop doing this to ourselves and yet nobody lifts a finger +
or says nothing in regards. In Guatemala, the reliability of this government was lost; everything that is happening around vaccines seems to be a reasonable indication of the commission of malicious conduct before, during and after the contract was signed.
This is happening in Guatemala, those in power are silencing those who want to protect the people, we cannot allow more abuse towards the population and remain silent.
