Friends,<BR><BR>Your help is urgently needed by our colleagues in Indonesia
and Colombia. Please read this email and take action.<BR><BR>On 28 May 2006
hydrogen sulfide gas leaked from a gas exploration rig in Sidoarjo, Java,
Indonesia. Shortly after the leak hot mud and boiling water erupted from the
ground close to the site at a rate of thousands of liters a minute. Within
hours the mud was inundating nearby villages.<BR><BR>Two years later and
whilst the flow of mud has reduced, there has been no significant progress by
the government to stop it for good. Meanwhile it continues to devastate
people's lives. It is estimated that 11,000 people have been made homeless and
thousands more have serious health issues often related to the noxious gases
that accompany the mud flow. At least one hundred deaths are directly related
to the mud.<BR><BR>Friends of the Earth Indonesia/Walhi is calling on the
President of Indonesia to hold the company responsible for this catastrophe to
account and for them to pay compensation to the victims.<BR><BR>Find out more
and take action -
http://www.foei.org/en/get-involved/take-action/stop-the-indonesian-mud-flow<BR><BR>At
the beginning of October, thousands of Colombia's indigenous people began a
popular uprising around the country to protest about the cultural and physical
genocide they are suffering at the hands of the state and to defend their
territory, autonomy and culture.<BR><BR>Police forces have repressed many of
the protests with bullets and tear gas. So far three people have been killed,
including a child, and more than one hundred have been injured.<BR><BR>Friends
of the Earth Colombia/Censat Agua Viva urge you to send a letter they have
produced to your respective Colombian embassy demanding that the government
and others responsible take action to ensure the immediate end to the violence
and to establish a dialogue with the community for future
negotiations.<BR><BR>Find out more and take action -

same.<BR><BR>Thanks for your continued support,<BR><BR><BR>Friends of the
Earth International
