The Amazon region of Peru in includes about one-third of the country, is characterized by a high biodiversity, is home to many ethnic groups and, in comparison with other parts of the country a disproportionate poverty. Like the Andean regions of the Amazon region of Peru is very rich in mineral resources. While primarily in the mountains minerals store, located in the bottom of the rain forest mainly oil and gas. This makes the Amazon regions of Peru interesting for the economic interests of transnational corporations. As in the Andes, began the sale of land in the Amazon under the Fujimori government, continued under President Toledo and just reached its peak under the government of Alan García. Meanwhile 75% of the biologically sensitive Peruvian Amazon region for the exploitation of transnational companies are released. Added to huge mono-crop areas are on soy and palm oil fields are being cut down for the parts of the rainforest.

The crop in the sequence adopted Decree Law the land rights of indigenous peoples in the Amazon and considerably facilitate the return transnational companies drilling in these areas carried out. Also determined the decrees that the population in the affected areas are not aware of the concession must. This violates the government, García against the agreement 169 to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), and thus violated international law because this ensures the indigenous population a say about the economic exploitation of the territory occupied by him. Peru has signed the Convention 169 of ILO 1995th

In view of the expropriation and deprivation of codetermination by the Peruvian government germinate in the population of the Amazon resistance reached in June 2009, its tragic climax. Since 9 April 2009 indigenous peacefully blocked from the region of Bagua access roads in protest against the government decrees. The regional police chief, a standstill agreement had been concluded, as long as the protests were peaceful. In the early morning of 5 June was, however, the special unit DINO of the National Police without warning to the United attack. First, the blockers were fired from helicopters later attacked by about 500 police officers with tear gas and live ammunition on the ground.

The approximately 2,000 indigenous protesters sat down with traditional weapons such as barricades, armed with slings and arrows. The terrible outcome of the day were 10 indigenous dead, 24 policemen dead and over 200 injured. Several protesters are still missing. According to the President of AIDESEP (National Organization of Indigenous in the Peruvian Amazon), Alberto Pizango, after the events of Bagua wanted for "terrorism."

President Alan García justified the police brutality that was probably arranged by his then Foreign Trade Minister Mercedes Aráoz, the cameras with the declaration: "It> goes with protests, these individuals have no idea. These are not first-class citizens. "! These Words illustrate the deep-seated racism in Peru, which is reflected not only in everyday life, but also in politics. In particular, the indigenous population in the Andean highlands and the Amazon regions are discriminated against in Peru economically, socially and politically. The indigenous people represent the poorest segment of the population, their cultural features are systematically marginalized, and many do not have an ID card (without the DNI no. Perú in fact nothing is), making them de facto stateless persons. Here are the indigenous people about 30 percent of the total population of the country.

The racist attitude of politicians towards the indigenous people is also in the final report of the Committee on the events in Bagua expression. The report omits the names of politicians and security forces that glorify the use of police are responsible. In addition, committee members stated critical that they are in the truthful investigation of the incident have been systematically obstructed.

Instead, the final report concludes that the indigenous people because of their "cultural backwardness" for the escalation in Bagua bear the blame. The report proposes would also change from what the indigenous people to improve their situation. To participate in the development in Peru, can they have to revise their cultural, social and religious structures, and give up their traditional "understanding of a holistic environmental and equality of all people. The idea of the final report ended in a fiasco, as the Chairman of the Committee, Jesús Manac, refused his signature. For him, the report is unacceptable since it is one-sided and racist.
