"The removal of illegal miners from the Munduruku Indigenous Territory marked a crucial moment in territorial reconfiguration. However, the physical removal of gold miners does not end the conflict but rather ushers in new dynamics.

A portion of the Indigenous population has moved to the urban center of Jacareacanga, increasing pressure on precarious infrastructure and limited public services.

The breakdown of informal economic networks associated with gold mining, combined with the absence of structural policies to support sustainable production in the villages, has contributed to increased social vulnerability.

At the same time, the weakening of the gold mining economy has created space for criminal factions to operate in urban areas, highlighting the convergence of different illicit markets, such as gold, drugs, and weapons.

The territory is thus now contested not only between the state and gold miners but also by criminal organizations that exploit the institutional vacuum and socioeconomic fragility."

Sleeping in the sun under a tree in a park in #northhollywood then being awoken by two happy #dogs is way better than #skidrow at 2 AM by a screaming #drug addict.

Or mugging a mugger at dinner time at 7th & Hope in #losangeles.

Or drugged at a sober living house in #northridge which is how we end up at the park.

Yea screw all of #losangeles.

It's gone to hell, and you may almost die half a dozen times trying not to almost die a dozen times.
