CHILE: Secessionist Mapuche radicals declare 'war'
A new spate of attacks by Mapuche activists
in the southern Araucanía region led the government to announce that it would be
applying the antiterrorist law against the perpetrators. This in turn prompted
the Coordinadora Arauco-Malleco (CAM), the most radical of Mapuche
organisations, to announce that it was seceding from Chile and declaring war on
it. The government appears divided on how far it should downplay the magnitude
of the threat represented by the CAM.
