Beyond Borders's Podcast

The Beyond Borders Collective Studio Crew talks to Charo Minas Rojas of the Black Community Process and Afro Columbian Council for Peace about the ongoing state repression and attacks faced by Afro-Columbians in Buenoaventura, Columbia.  "The mass protest is the result of the dire conditions in which the city’s 400,000 Afro-Colombian residents live, despite huge amounts of wealth generated by the local port, where 60 percent of the county’s sea-going commerce is processed. Corruption and a lack of government oversight have left the city with no hospital, crumbling schools, little to no running water, a 64 percent poverty level, and 60 percent unemployment."
