The Av\u00e1-Guarani community, located in the Tekoha Guasu Guavira Indigenous Land in Gua\u00edra, in the state of Paran\u00e1, was the target of yet another violent attack<\/a> by big farmers on Thursday morning (17). The conflict left two Indigenous people injured, one after being run over by a truck and the other beaten with sticks by men identified as employees of a rural property in the region.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n Based on reports from residents of the community, a truck and four tractors loaded with poison advanced on the Yvyju Avary community, inside the Indigenous Land, at around 10 am, allegedly at the behest of a big farmer who is demanding the expulsion of the Indigenous people<\/a> from the area. The National Public Security Force was called in to intervene, and the victims were taken to a hospital. \u201cThe big farmers have a truck full of non-Indigenous people making attacks. They’ve run over people and also killed the community’s dogs,\u201d said Indigenous leader Nazany Martins.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n According to the Guarani Yvyrupa Commission (CGY, in Portuguese), the Av\u00e1-Guarani community live in constant tension due to big farmers’ attacks against Indigenous territories that are being regularized. One big farmer in the region agreed to negotiate the sale of his land for the demarcation of the Indigenous Lands, while another chose to resist violently, escalating the conflicts.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
