Déployés depuis juillet 2020 en RCA, ce contingent, composés d’éléments du Bataillon d’infanterie et de la compagne de transport lourd, a beaucoup contribué à la mise en œuvre du mandat de la MINUSCA à travers des missions de protection des populations civiles, la sécurisation de l’assistance humanitaire et le soutien logistiques des forces à travers le pays.
Bangui (CAR), 10 August 2021: 990 peacekeepers from the Egyptian contingent of MINUSCA were awarded the United Nations medal during a ceremony chaired by the Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Lizbeth Cullity. Deployed since July 2020 in CAR, this contingent, composed of elements of the Infantry Battalion and the Heavy Transportation Company, has contributed significantly to the implementation of MINUSCA's mandate through protection of civilians operations, escorts to humanitarian assistance delivery as well as logistics operations in support of MINUSCA forces across throughout the country.

En el marco de la semana de la celebración de la semana de Geofísica de la Universidad de Concepción (UdeC), es que se realiza la charla Contingencia medioambiental en la región: Embalse Punilla y Biobíogenera (ex-Octopus) efectuada la tarde del 21 de noviembre en el auditorio Alamiro Robledo de la Facultad de Ciencias Físicas y Matemáticas. En ella dieron charla representantes del conflicto con el Embalse Punilla, y del proyecto Octopus (Biobíogenera) con activistas de Penco.
El inicio lo dio Claudio Almuna, vocero de Ñuble Libre, que con una completa presentación explicó lo negativo que significa para San Fabián el proyecto energético. A través de vídeos testimoniales de la señora Juanita, quien dejó toda una vida de pelea contra el Embalse con más de 90 años y su reciente fallecimiento. Otro relato relevante fue el de la señora Estefanía del sector del Chacallay, cercano al volcán Chillán, que para acceder a los sectores urbanos debe pasar por San Fabián, quedando completamente aislada de instalarse el megaproyecto.
Claudio Almuna, explicó en detalle a través de infografías los impactos que generarían los proyectos hidroeléctricos consistentes en el Embalse Punilla, la Central de Pasada Ñuble, la línea de alta tensión, y la Central de Pasada Perquilauquén. Éstos han sido presentados como proyectos fraccionados, y sin considerar la línea de alta tensión, lo que inundaría 1700 hectáreas afectando localidades como Puente Inglés, Los Sauces, Chacayal, El Roble, Bullileo, Lara, Caracol, Los Puquios, por mencionar algunas. Esto ha significado que personas que han vivido toda su vida en el lugar han tenido que sufrir la expropiación y desalojo de sus tierras para su relocalización, en un proyecto al que Bachelet le ha puesto el acelerador definiéndolo como obra prioritaria de su gobierno.
Enrique Concha, Presidente del Comité Pro Defensa de la Naturaleza y el Medio del Territorio Punilla, señala que han habido muchos abusos de parte del ministerio y del estado. "Se le ha aplicado una ley de expropiación a gente que ha vivido toda su vida en el lugar, no hay ningún respeto" aclarando que nunca ha habido una instancia de diálogo. Agrega que han dado plata para la protección del huemul pero que para los humanos es denigrante lo que han ofrecido que es 3,5 UF para una canasta familiar cada 4 personas, y 0,5 UF por persona, a través del plan de desarrollo social del Programa de Recuperación y Fortalecimiento Económico.
La represa sería más grande que la torre Entel, siendo la más grandes después de Ralco y los vecinos temen por su seguridad ya que estaría a 25 kms. del volcán Chillán, que es uno de los siete volcanes más activos de Chile y donde no hay estudios que permitan medir los efectos de una erupción. Las comunas beneficiadas con el riego serían San Carlos, San Nicolás, Ñiquén, Coihueco. Sin embargo, nada de esto gotearía para San Fabián que no tendría ni riego ni bajas de la tarifa eléctrica, quedándose con todo los efectos negativos.
Uno de los grandes eventos que se realiza está el Ñuble Fest donde el río Ñuble convoca a las personas a practicar rafting. Esta actividad desaparecería de instalarse el embalse, ya que el caudal disminuiría a 8 m3/s. De esta forma se hizo la invitación al evento a realizarse el 28, 29 y 30 de este mes, y donde se visitarían en el recorrido algunos de los principales lugares afectados.
A través de las preguntas y el diálogo se terminó la exposición dando paso al coffee break en que el debate y la conversación se dilataron. De vuelta fue el turno del proyecto Octopus de Biobíogenera, introducción que estuvo a cargo de Leonidas Arancibia, vocero de la Coordinadora Penco-Lirquén. Comenzó explicando que esta organización se articula en un espacio mayor que es la Coordinadora Intercomunal que reúne además a las comunas de Tomé, Talcahuano y Bulnes, que también se verían afectadas por el megaproyecto.
También entregó los detalles del estado actual del proyecto que fue retirado el año pasado y que ahora es presentado como uno nuevo "lo que ha significado nuevos desafíos" según el vocero. En la presentación comenzó contextualizando la bahía y el rol que cumple la región en la cadena de producción de energía.
Para comprender el impacto en su conjunto fue necesario explicar lo que es el fracking o fractura hidraúlica, que es un método muy nocivo de extracción, y que recientemente fue prohibido en el primer lugar que fue practicado de EE.UU. Extrayendo el shale gas o gas de pizarra, éste sería traído precisamente de EE.UU. por buques de GNL, que se conectaría a la Unidad Flotante de Almacenamiento y Regasificación (FSRU por sus siglas en inglés) que se mantiene permanentemente en el terminal flotante. Estos barcos son altamente peligrosos si se considera que el combustible se encuentra reducido 600 veces su tamaño pudiendo transportar entre 120 y 200 millones de litros de GNL, y más aún si sabemos que se ubicaría muy cercana a la segunda área naval de Chile más importante.
Uno de los desafíos que plantea el nuevo diseño del proyecto es el proceso de regasificación que anteriormente requería agua de mar que era devuelta con cloro, mientras que ahora es presentado a través de la ionización, que con ánodos de cobre acondiciona el agua devolviéndola al mar modificada a 7º C por lo que "los nuevos cambios no son para mejor" concluye Arancibia.
Por su parte, Catalina Muñoz, miembro de la Coordinadora Penco-Lirquén, explicó cómo se configura la legislación medioambiental a través de la Ley 19.300. Realizando un análisis crítico de ésta, menciona que la Participación Ciudadana no es vinculante, siendo "un engaño a la comunidad". También destapó los conflictos de interés de Marcelo Mena, Subsecretario de Medio Ambiente, que fue asesor técnico de los titulares del proyecto asunto que aclarará contraloría.
En segunda instancia, Muñoz, detalló la perspectiva social del movimiento. La línea del tiempo partió desde la primera asamblea en Bulnes en mayo del año pasado, pasando por los procesos institucionales, y dando énfasis los hitos como las masivas marchas en Tomé y Concepción, hasta las últimas acciones mediáticas como los jóvenes rapados que irrumpieron en Santiago. Por último, Catalina extendió la invitación al Festival Ecológico a realizarse el domingo 23 de noviembre en la playa de Penco.
Cerrando la jornada, destacable fue el apoyo del Dr. Dante Figueroa, profesor titular del Departamento de Geofísica de la Universidad de Concepción, quien se comprometió con aportar desde su conocimiento académico al movimiento.

Kos or Cos (Greek: ÎÏÏ) is a Greek island, part of the Dodecanese island chain in the southeastern Aegean Sea, next to the Gulf of Gökova/Cos.
In Homer's Iliad, a contingent from Kos fought for the Greeks in the Trojan War.[12]
In the Roman mythology, the island was visited by Hercules.[13]
The island was originally colonised by the Carians. The Dorians invaded it in the 11th century BC, establishing a Dorian colony with a large contingent of settlers from Epidaurus, whose Asclepius cult made their new home famous for its sanatoria. The other chief sources of the island's wealth lay in its wines and, in later days, in its silk manufacture.[14]
Its early historyâas part of the religious-political amphictyony that included Lindos, Kamiros, Ialysos, Cnidus and Halicarnassus, the Dorian Hexapolis (hexapolis means six cities in Greek),[15]âis obscure. At the end of the 6th century, Kos fell under Achaemenid domination but rebelled after the Greek victory at the Battle of Mycale in 479. During the Greco-Persian Wars, before it twice expelled the Persians, it was ruled by Persian-appointed tyrants, but as a rule it seems to have been under oligarchic government. In the 5th century, it joined the Delian League, and, after the revolt of Rhodes, it served as the chief Athenian station in the south-eastern Aegean (411â407). In 366 BC, a democracy was instituted. In 366 BC, the capital was transferred from Astypalaia to the newly built town of Kos, laid out in a Hippodamian grid. After helping to weaken Athenian power, in the Social War (357-355 BC), it fell for a few years to the king Mausolus of Caria.
Proximity to the east gave the island first access to imported silk thread. Aristotle mentions silk weaving conducted by the women of the island.[16] Silk production of garments was conducted in large factories by women slaves.[17]
In the Hellenistic age, Kos attained the zenith of its prosperity. Its alliance was valued by the kings of Egypt, who used it as a naval outpost to oversee the Aegean. As a seat of learning, it arose as a provincial branch of the museum of Alexandria, and became a favorite resort for the education of the princes of the Ptolemaic dynasty. During the hellenistic age, there was a medical school; however, the theory that this school was founded by Hippocrates (see below) during the classical age is an unwarranted extrapolation.[18] Among its most famous sons were the physician Hippocrates, the painter Apelles, the poets Philitas and, perhaps, Theocritus.
Diodorus Siculus (xv. 76) and Strabo (xiv. 657) describe it as a well-fortified port. Its position gave it a high importance in Aegean trade; while the island itself was rich in wines of considerable fame.[19] Under Alexander the Great and the Egyptian Ptolemies the town developed into one of the great centers in the Aegean; Josephus[20] quotes Strabo to the effect that Mithridates was sent to Kos to fetch the gold deposited there by the queen Cleopatra of Egypt. Herod is said to have provided an annual stipend for the benefit of prize-winners in the athletic games,[21] and a statue was erected there to his son Herod the Tetrarch ("C. I. G." 2502 ). Paul briefly visited here according to Acts 21:1.
Except for occasional incursions by corsairs and some severe earthquakes, the island has rarely had its peace disturbed. Following the lead of its larger neighbour, Rhodes, Kos generally displayed a friendly attitude toward the Romans; in 53 AD it was made a free city. Lucian (125â180) mentions their manufacture of semi-transparent light dresses, a fashion success.[22] The island of Kos also featured a provincial library during the Roman period. The island first became a center for learning during the Ptolemaic dynasty, and Hippocrates, Apelles, Philitas and possibly Theocritus came from the area. An inscription lists people who made contributions to build the library in the 1st century AD.[23] One of the people responsible for the library's construction was the Kos doctor Gaiou Stertinou Xenofontos, who lived in Rome and was the personal physician of the Emperors Tiberius, Claudius, and Nero.[24]
The bishopric of Cos was a suffragan of the metropolitan see of Rhodes.[25] Its bishop Meliphron attended the First Council of Nicaea in 325. Eddesius was one of the minority Eastern bishops who withdrew from the Council of Sardica in about 344 and set up a rival council at Philippopolis. Iulianus went to the synod held in Constantinople in 448 in preparation for the Council of Chalcedon of 451, in which he participated as a legate of Pope Leo I, and he was a signatory of the joint letter that the bishops of the Roman province of Insulae sent in 458 to Byzantine Emperor Leo I the Thracian with regard to the killing of Proterius of Alexandria. Dorotheus took part in a synod in 518. Georgius was a participant of the Third Council of Constantinople in 680â681. Constantinus went to the Photian Council of Constantinople (879).[26][27] Under Byzantine rule, apart from the participation of its bishops in councils, the island's history remains obscure. It was governed by a droungarios in the 8th/9th centuries, and seems to have acquired some importance in the 11th and 12th centuries: Nikephoros Melissenos began his uprising here, and in the middle of the 12th century, it was governed by a scion of the ruling Komnenos dynasty, Nikephoros Komnenos.[25] Kos or Cos (Greek: ÎÏÏ) is a Greek island, part of the Dodecanese island chain in the southeastern Aegean Sea, next to the Gulf of Gökova/Cos.

Claudio Almuna, explicó en detalle a través de infografías los impactos que generarían los proyectos hidroeléctricos consistentes en el Embalse Punilla, la Central de Pasada Ñuble, la línea de alta tensión, y la Central de Pasada Perquilauquén. Éstos han sido presentados como proyectos fraccionados, y sin considerar la línea de alta tensión, lo que inundaría 1700 hectáreas afectando localidades como Puente Inglés, Los Sauces, Chacayal, El Roble, Bullileo, Lara, Caracol, Los Puquios, por mencionar algunas. Esto ha significado que personas que han vivido toda su vida en el lugar han tenido que sufrir la expropiación y desalojo de sus tierras para su relocalización, en un proyecto al que Bachelet le ha puesto el acelerador definiéndolo como obra prioritaria de su gobierno.
Enrique Concha, Presidente del Comité Pro Defensa de la Naturaleza y el Medio del Territorio Punilla, señala que han habido muchos abusos de parte del ministerio y del estado. "Se le ha aplicado una ley de expropiación a gente que ha vivido toda su vida en el lugar, no hay ningún respeto" aclarando que nunca ha habido una instancia de diálogo. Agrega que han dado plata para la protección del huemul pero que para los humanos es denigrante lo que han ofrecido que es 3,5 UF para una canasta familiar cada 4 personas, y 0,5 UF por persona, a través del plan de desarrollo social del Programa de Recuperación y Fortalecimiento Económico.
La represa sería más grande que la torre Entel, siendo la más grandes después de Ralco y los vecinos temen por su seguridad ya que estaría a 25 kms. del volcán Chillán, que es uno de los siete volcanes más activos de Chile y donde no hay estudios que permitan medir los efectos de una erupción. Las comunas beneficiadas con el riego serían San Carlos, San Nicolás, Ñiquén, Coihueco. Sin embargo, nada de esto gotearía para San Fabián que no tendría ni riego ni bajas de la tarifa eléctrica, quedándose con todo los efectos negativos.
Uno de los grandes eventos que se realiza está el Ñuble Fest donde el río Ñuble convoca a las personas a practicar rafting. Esta actividad desaparecería de instalarse el embalse, ya que el caudal disminuiría a 8 m3/s. De esta forma se hizo la invitación al evento a realizarse el 28, 29 y 30 de este mes, y donde se visitarían en el recorrido algunos de los principales lugares afectados.
A través de las preguntas y el diálogo se terminó la exposición dando paso al coffee break en que el debate y la conversación se dilataron. De vuelta fue el turno del proyecto Octopus de Biobíogenera, introducción que estuvo a cargo de Leonidas Arancibia, vocero de la Coordinadora Penco-Lirquén. Comenzó explicando que esta organización se articula en un espacio mayor que es la Coordinadora Intercomunal que reúne además a las comunas de Tomé, Talcahuano y Bulnes, que también se verían afectadas por el megaproyecto.
También entregó los detalles del estado actual del proyecto que fue retirado el año pasado y que ahora es presentado como uno nuevo "lo que ha significado nuevos desafíos" según el vocero. En la presentación comenzó contextualizando la bahía y el rol que cumple la región en la cadena de producción de energía.
Para comprender el impacto en su conjunto fue necesario explicar lo que es el fracking o fractura hidraúlica, que es un método muy nocivo de extracción, y que recientemente fue prohibido en el primer lugar que fue practicado de EE.UU. Extrayendo el shale gas o gas de pizarra, éste sería traído precisamente de EE.UU. por buques de GNL, que se conectaría a la Unidad Flotante de Almacenamiento y Regasificación (FSRU por sus siglas en inglés) que se mantiene permanentemente en el terminal flotante. Estos barcos son altamente peligrosos si se considera que el combustible se encuentra reducido 600 veces su tamaño pudiendo transportar entre 120 y 200 millones de litros de GNL, y más aún si sabemos que se ubicaría muy cercana a la segunda área naval de Chile más importante.
Uno de los desafíos que plantea el nuevo diseño del proyecto es el proceso de regasificación que anteriormente requería agua de mar que era devuelta con cloro, mientras que ahora es presentado a través de la ionización, que con ánodos de cobre acondiciona el agua devolviéndola al mar modificada a 7º C por lo que "los nuevos cambios no son para mejor" concluye Arancibia.
Por su parte, Catalina Muñoz, miembro de la Coordinadora Penco-Lirquén, explicó cómo se configura la legislación medioambiental a través de la Ley 19.300. Realizando un análisis crítico de ésta, menciona que la Participación Ciudadana no es vinculante, siendo "un engaño a la comunidad". También destapó los conflictos de interés de Marcelo Mena, Subsecretario de Medio Ambiente, que fue asesor técnico de los titulares del proyecto asunto que aclarará contraloría.
En segunda instancia, Muñoz, detalló la perspectiva social del movimiento. La línea del tiempo partió desde la primera asamblea en Bulnes en mayo del año pasado, pasando por los procesos institucionales, y dando énfasis los hitos como las masivas marchas en Tomé y Concepción, hasta las últimas acciones mediáticas como los jóvenes rapados que irrumpieron en Santiago. Por último, Catalina extendió la invitación al Festival Ecológico a realizarse el domingo 23 de noviembre en la playa de Penco.
Cerrando la jornada, destacable fue el apoyo del Dr. Dante Figueroa, profesor titular del Departamento de Geofísica de la Universidad de Concepción, quien se comprometió con aportar desde su conocimiento académico al movimiento.

¡Viva la Causa! - A Decade of Farm Labor Organizing on the Central Coast - Traveling Exhibit
The traveling exhibition was created in 2001 and was the outgrowth of an earlier collaboration between Cal Poly and Manuel Echavarria. Echavarria, a long-time Oceano resident and United Farm Worker organizer, donated fifty-four preservation prints to the Kennedy Library’s Special Collections Department in 1999. The prints commemorate the struggles and triumphs of the mostly Latino laborers as they fought for better pay and working conditions in the farms and fields of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. Having toured numerous locations across California, the exhibition is housed in Special Collections during down time.
