Communications on the morning of March 22, 2003 from the Shell company’s security agents are reported as suggesting that the dispute over seismic oil testing on Sarayacu territory will be resolved in 15 days or the oil company will enter by military force. The military entered the Shaimi and Montalvo area of the Sarayacu territory, and the Kichwa say that they desperately need moral and financial support to help them mobilize against the illicit incursions.
