...their land; government officials claim it is a spontaneous movement of people to defend themselves against the excesses of Naxalite violence. In either event, one certain point is that Salwa Judum has increased violence in the state to unprecedented levels, forcing communities out of their forest dwellings and into crude, and by most reports sub-human, camps. Moving back is often not a choice for these communities, kept off their traditional land by the government in the name of public safety...

But Raul can't afford to alienate Chavez, who controls the hemisphere's largest oil reserves - and who each day sends 100,000 barrels of cut-rate crude to Cuba that has helped keep the island's economy afloat this decade...
