At least 10 people were wounded last week when riot police (ESMAD) attempted to break up a strike at a Canadian owned oil facility in southern Colombia.One of the multinationals in question is Calgary based Gran Tierra Energy, a firm which produces approximately 14,000 barrels of oil per day, and controls 753,376 net acres of territory in Putumayo. Oil drilling is taking place in the territories of the Cofán peoples, many of whom have been displaced as part of a concerted strategy to make the lands they occupy available for mega projects.
