🚨Final days to sign the solidarity letter!

What is happening in Makoko is not just a local issue, it reflects a broader pattern of displacement driven by unequal urban development.

Located along the Lagos lagoon, Makoko sits on land increasingly targeted for high-value urban and luxury projects. Under the guise of “development,” communities are being pushed out to make way for investment and profit.

We must come together to challenge these injustices and support communities defending their homes, their livelihoods, and their futures.

Sign the letter and amplify this call.

Makoko’s residents, together with , a member of ESCR-Net, are leading a collective call for justice.

🚨 El as*****to de Berta Cáceres no fue un crimen aislado. Fue el resultado de una estructura de poder en la que confluyeron intereses empresariales, fuerzas de seguridad del Estado y financiamiento internacional para imponer el proyecto hidroeléctrico Agua Zarca.

📘 El reciente Informe Final del GIEI permite comprender cómo operó, en este caso, la Economía Política de la Violencia: un entramado en el que el capital, el poder corporativo y el aparato estatal se articulan para criminalizar, reprimir y eliminar a quienes defienden el territorio.

En este caso, la EPV operó así:
🔺 Financiamiento corporativo de la violencia.
🔺 Complicidad del Estado, que permitió y encubrió los crímenes y militarizó las zonas donde las comunidades se opusieron al proyecto.
🔺 Uso de la violencia como herramienta para silenciar la defensa del territorio.

El Informe Final del GIEI confirma que esta violencia es estructural, planificada y funcional a modelos de desarrollo extractivos.
