Peru has been on high alert in recent weeks as native tribespeople in the jungle have been fighting with the police over the issue of drilling for oil on native community lands. These battles have left close to 40 people dead (both natives & police have been killed), and hundreds more injured. The conflict has come close to toppling the current Peruvian government, and at a minimum we will probably see the resignations of some top government officials who have been blamed for allowing the situation to careen wildly out of control.
Please pray for the natives, & for the police, & for the government leaders, that cooler & wiser & more discerning heads will prevail very soon, & that peace will be agreed to by all sides before another drop of blood is spilled in the Peruvian jungle.
