The announcement by Nayib Bukele to reactivate mining in El Salvador marks a dangerous shift that deepens patterns of environmental harm, dispossession, and violence, raising alarm among communities and environmental defenders. In this context, the agroecological production project of MUFRAS-32 in San Isidro was deliberately attacked and set on fire, destroying infrastructure, crops, and irrigation systems that had sustained community work for decades. Local activists point to this attack as part of a broader pattern of escalating pressure linked to government interests in reopening mining operations in the region.

Between December 2025 and February 2026 alone, over 40,000 residents of Makoko, Lagos (Nigeria), were displaced as demolition operations destroyed homes, shops, schools, churches, and health facilities. Thousands more are facing violent forced evictions right now. Communities torn apart without notice, without alternatives, and with the use of force. This is a clear violation of the right to adequate housing. And it must stop.
