The Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador -- or the CONAIE -- has suspended talks with the government of Rafael Correa saying communities should have the right to say yes or no to development projects. CONAIE’s position is supported by anti-mining groups who want the government to revoke mineral concessions that were awarded without their input. The indigenous group is now turning its attention to building support within the National Constituent Assembly for a more inclusive constitution. It has also rallied social organizations across the country who met in Quito yesterday. Jen Moore has more from Ecuador.

I definitely recommend a listen to this audio which I've posted on the Link Library.
