Havasupai Water and Existence Threatened by New Uranium Mining on Sacred Land at Grand Canyon

Havasupai said their worst fears have come true, and now Energy Fuels is extracting toxic uranium, violating their sacred place, threatening their water, and jeopardizing their existence.

The Havasuapai Tribal Council said, "It is with heavy hearts that we must acknowledge that our greatest fear has come true."

"Despite decades of active and tireless opposition, Energy Fuels, a foreign for-profit mining company, has acted in its own self-serving interest and extracted toxic uranium at the Pinyon Plain Mine (formerly the Canyon Mine), desecrating one of our most sacred sites and jeopardizing the existence of the Havasupai Tribe."

South Africa states Israel has engaged in starvation and the killing of innocent women and children, describing life now as "hell on earth," with the killing of babies, women undergoing caesareans without anesthesia, men kidnapped and stripped, people dying slow deaths beneath the rubble of bombing, the lack of water, food, and electricity as famine nears. The killing of ambulance teams, doctors, and journalists. The bombing of universities and targeted killing of professors and scholars. Assassinations of Palestinians, whose bodies have been left unburied. Famine and infectious diseases are now as great a threat as bombing. South Africa points out that parties to the Geneva Convention have a duty not just to halt genocide, but to prevent it. -- Censored News.
