Protesters Stoning DIJ Office and Employees in Volcan (Reader Report)

It sure is funny that there has been almost no news about the province of Bocas del Toro. I am now on Isla Colon as of this afternoon, but live in Almirante. I have been in touch with friends in Changuinola and they have told me that there are numerous blockades all through the city, and all along the highway to Almirante.
The back road from Changuinola to Almirante is blocked.
The police have not intervened.
They are holed up in the cuartel with the gates locked.
Everyone is thankful that they haven t taken to smashing the local businesses like last time.
Around a thousand demonstrators marched down the streets in Changuinola yesterday.
In Almirante,the water lines have been sabotaged many times and we have been without water.I could hear chainsaws busy near Almirante last night and this morning.
Over on the island, Isla Colon, other than the fact that there is no diesel ,cooking gas, vegetables, or incoming tourists, things seem relatively normal. The electric plant must be almost out of fuel and they have been threatening to cut power for 4 days now.
We are all waiting wwith bated breath for the results of the negotiations that are happening at this moment in David.
