2:32 am
to blame and visit often there are those responsible. but if you think about it too much, you can lose your mind. i don't, law school is hello. can i help you as soon as the moment? but are there really no culprits to try to understand what's going on here? we have to go back to 2018. the start of an ambitious project. in that year, the multinational china harbor engineering company began building the outdoor piece of mind those highway the company and its chinese parent group, c, c, c. c, have built infrastructure. and more than 150 countries, the parent company, whoever is in just repute for allegedly paying bribes and that has reached certain questions, is the construction company responsible for the problems of a small community in columbia? what responsibility does the colombian government have for these types of infrastructure projects and who benefits in the end?
2:33 am
maybe even is columbia 2nd largest city. until a few years ago, the city lacked an adequate route to connected with the caribbean coast in the north. now with out to a piece to monitor those things are different in the middle of this road is the small town of w e. but since the beginning of 2020 for don, yet we had ada has been the mayor equally to have data has lived all his life in b. but since 2016, he has worked in different positions in the governors office and witness firsthand the construction and impact of the highway on his community. a lot from what size of the the highway project is not really designed for small cities like ours that i mean what the project really does is benefit international trade for the for
2:34 am
k in the because ports are going to a built in order a box that can handle goods from all over the world, and that is that and mainly from china, a country that already accounts for more than 20 percent of its imports, according to official colombian figures for killing the weight and quantify last for the project aimed at exporting local goods we would all benefit greatly, so that is not a little bit better because we are agricultural producers. if you look at the old roads around here, they're terrible the old route passed through the center of the municipality and boost of its economy the but the new road skirts around the community, causing more than just economic difficulties. an engineer who worked on the road
2:35 am
construction for 2 years agreed to talk to dw, but asked to remain anonymous. because here will 2 bottles. this varies, i mean, and i believe that several of those land sights were caused by bad construction practices where they should have worked with machines. they turned to explosives, it was covered and they kind of customer service that made the stone fragile and displayed fruitful products. you know, let's just say a lot of mistakes were made on the spectacle. the largest catastrophe happens in 2020 numerous land slide, said 5 different small communities simultaneously. more than 300 families lost loved ones and all their possessions scale. and they say use us to, as i mentioned, we all know that the land sight occurred on the same mountain where most of the construction was going on in java e boat. we never had such land slots. that seems pretty strange. you will,
2:36 am
i will kick when we use on and it was on that day that mind with potters. sun turned 5. go ahead. yeah. me are you what that i knew i went out to get kick from my son's birthday and then the avalanche happens. and i couldn't get back home then you up and fell a long time without a mother's a, a simple birthday cake saved his life and made him the sole survivor of his family . dw asks a columbia massaro to use on the consortium led by the chinese company about the excessive use of dynamite. in the area. the consortium said that no land slides had been reported during the work due to controlled blasting with dynamite. and that the techniques are generally appropriate and have been evaluated during the work, but many and of a but believes that the consortiums malpractice is go beyond its construction techniques, perhaps with the way they chose their local partners by the 5th. okay. and they
2:37 am
cited copy. there's no secret that the former man is a business man without a lot of business in w eva con, which enables us invalid the largest camp that the chinese university was on this mans buyer. and lots of the offices that the chinese used for their operations are also owned by this gentleman, the most part just sitting with the parking lots and he even owns the hotels that they use during the project. so yeah, so that was a great conflict of interest, company silver on day. it is a different place along the highway. let me see to is an informal neighborhood founded in 2019 today it is home to around 3000 people. when the building consortium led by the china harbor engineering company, signed the contract to build the highway in 2015,
2:38 am
the neighborhood did not exist yet when the construction work began, things were different. still the company chose to act as if the neighborhood wasn't there. the john alejandro daughter a go work for the group between 20212023 lives at lama say that there's a lot of it is that we go and this neighborhood is located above the head of the tunnel and thousands on that. those are the 2 and then about 50 to 60 meters from the tunnel entrance and something happens. and so is this one time what's going on? we have a slope that protects the land so that the water does not want you to weigh. i say to a 1000 minutes i lou calling 95 out of the sea and but as time goes by, the slope is cracking and becoming unsuitable and is also damaging the neighborhood and convert. i'm going about it. and so we live with the fear that it will be an avalanche and take all the families with a lot of. i mean, as i, the kind of i said these places where out to piece the of mark
2:39 am
those passes through are not alone. the problems that occurred here are not isolated cases, says maria, catalina, and the quote to an expert who investigates chinese infrastructure projects in latin america. the like many other companies, they go as far as they are allowed to meet in w e. but for example, certain requirements were ignored and particularly environmental ones lucky, politically on my ceiling. is that correct? i'm a, i'm being started particularly additionally, there are other irregularities that could ultimately lead to corruption problems. show the on that at the, at the go to see us the construction project also damaged graves, some of which were 2600 years old. and one of the oldest archaeological sites in columbia, the consortium bought the land to use as a material depot. include b dollars is one of the archaeologists who worked on the emergency excavations,
2:40 am
that the consortium organized but all about a sick when they realize that the complexity of the archaeological site and all the tools that were there, they decided not to continue with the excavations to preserve the archaeological heritage, but also to save costs and avoid time delays. but the damage was already done. one 3rd of the burial mountains are gone. and what about the people who live here? experts call for more concern for the communities involved so that they will also benefit from large infrastructure projects. nancy, go nowhere near people, they put on say whether or not investment projects are beneficial will depend on both sides and of those factors, e, i. e, and here it is very important to bear in mind that if we want to have a profitable relationship with china, our institutions must be strong enough to allow that relationship to be profitable for both sides. this global quite a bit and you'd be beat almost. you say i have enough interpret which was the
2:41 am
because not only the past, but also the future of entire communities are at stake. the, when people have to leave to make way for a road or surface mine for entire villages messed up sticks because of rising sea levels. or when governments expel entire population groups, then it's the case of forced resettlement. and it keeps happening all over the world. the every day when see not wonder is how long she can continue working in her shop. she is worried because she is supposed to leave the area and take her store and her 3 children. the authorities want them all to move the mouse.

2:45 am
foundation was of the village and inc, or i still visible. so far, the government hasn't said what it plans to do with the land near the temples. a spokesperson for the responsible authority says it is all the development measured to benefit the locals. the families move voluntarily. the power of the, the thing this is, this is no punishment. this is providing opportunities they but there where there was no sanitation the what they are in the small. busy caught the human rights organization, amnesty international sees it differently and move to this unfinished satellite city is a forest relocation in which human rights are being violated. the group wants unesco to intervene and stand up for the local population. so serious threats and, and again we're talking about cambodia that has
2:46 am
a very long history of very, very violent, forced eviction. so which is why it is extra important for role for entities like you nice go for outside agencies, world heritage committee, etc. to place that to fill that gap, unesco is now publicly expressing concern, saying it did not support the resettlement. the office of the local non governmental organization at hawk is located near the temple complex. it's liter, change them rum, says the government is failing locals. so we'll have p, i'm, i've got some cms, the literature and people must not be patronized to apply to the government could create better opportunities where people previously lived, i'm tired so where they would rather live on something. you have to organize things better than that compete product and you can't just drive people away against their will to get the beach what, what to do when it, the, the, to my, you know,
