KRUSZYNIANY, Poland, May 27 (IPS) - Dzenneta Bogdanowicz never imagined she would witness the construction of a wall in the middle of nowhere, just two kilometres from her front door. “It’s right there, so close. And of course, it’s bad for business,” the 60-year-old Polish hotelier tells IPS outside the wooden guesthouse and restaurant she runs in Kruszyniany. It’s a village of 200 inhabitants 250 kilometres northeast of Warsaw, in the Podlasie region.

KRUSZYNIANY, Polonia – Dzenneta Bogdanowicz, una empresaria hostelera polaca de 60 años, nunca pensó que vería un muro alzarse en mitad de la nada, y menos aún tan cerca de su casa. “Está a solo dos kilómetros de aquí. Por supuesto, esto no es bueno para el negocio”, explica a IPS esta mujer de cabello y ojos grises en la entrada de su local de restauración y alojamiento en Kruszyniany. Es un pueblo de 200 habitantes a 250 kilómetros al noreste de Varsovia, en la región de Podlasia.

Aquestes darreres setmanes s’ha registrat un augment de detencions d’activistes prodrets humans balutxis i de familiars seus al Pakistan. El patró ja és conegut, però s’ha intensificat dràsticament. Dividit entre l’Iran, l’Afganistan i el Pakistan, el Balutxistan ha patit una explotació sistemàtica dels recursos minerals i energètics. Això ha alimentat una insurgència de llarga durada, junt amb el sorgiment d’una societat civil cada cop més assertiva.
