My name is Alfredo Campo. I am from the Nasa indigenous people. I was born in a village called Las Brisas, on the Honduras indigenous reserve, in the municipality of Morales, Cauca. I’m a journalist.
In 2001 I set up an indigenous radio station. I was the station director and the coordinator of the communication program. I give to people the opportunity to talk about the abuses they had suffered: the invasion of their territories, the massacres and the deaths in isolated rural areas.
In September 2008, I received threats by armed groups who called themselves paramilitaries, The Black Eagles. They said “You must leave Morales in the next 24 hours”. Now, I live in Bogota. I was displaced.
