Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #980 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY March 11, 2025: ‘FOURTH CONQUEST: Mayan’s Fight For land Rights’ by ZUMA Press award winning PA Wire photo-journalist Brian Lawless: The Mayan people’s struggle to keep their ancestral land has been described as ‘the fourth conquest’ and like ‘fighting a monster’. Indigenous Mayans in Guatemala have called for a halt on multinational companies coming to their communities and extracting resources. Local people believe that big agriculture and mining have destroyed the natural environment, affecting their crops and polluting the water. Unlike the historical conquests, today the community is optimistic, they have legal papers that they say will determine the land is theirs. Local spokesman Gilberto Ichich said they don’t want their territory to be ‘invaded’ by these companies. ‘We don’t want any mining, we don’t want any palm tree oil palms here, we want them out. We don’t want any more damage, we just want to be (left) in peace.’ Welcome to ‘FOURTH CONQUEST: Mayan’s Fight For land Rights’
