Extractions: Apr 1, By SERGIO DE LEON, Associated Press Writer GUATEMALA CITY - Hundreds of former paramilitary fighters held an oil pumping station Tuesday in northern Guatemala, demanding that the government pay them more for fighting alongside the military during the country's 1960-96 civil war. Demonstrators took control of the station on Monday and began emptying oil from one of the pipelines in the nearby jungle village of Las Pozas, 110 miles (160 kilometers) north of Guatemala City. The station is owned by the French company Perenco. The paramilitaries "are still blocking all access and have refused to allow emergency officials inside," Energy and Mines Ministry spokesman Juan Carlos Ruiz said Tuesday. Ruiz said the seized pumping station connects oil wells in northernmost Peten province with a refining station in the port city of Santo Tomas. Guatemala exports 25,000 barrels of oil a day, nearly all of which flow through channels now controlled by protesters, Ruiz said. The protest is costing private investors as much as US$50,000 a day, he said. The government has agreed to pay ex-paramilitaries US$660 each in three installments - one this year, and two next year. But protesters want US$2,500 handed over in one payment.

Extractions: Costa Rica ~ General History We'll begin our short trip through Costa Rica's history with pre-Colombian times. The famous Mayan empire did not extend this far south in Central America. The people here were called the Chorotegas . They farmed corn, beans, fruit, and cotton. They also hunted, had large cities with religious centers, and militaries for gaining land and slaves (used for labor and ritual sacrifice). The women were the only ones allowed access to internal commerce - the market. They were also the primary artisans and writers. Then Christopher Columbus landed at what is now Puerto Limon in 1502. Soon after, Spanish explorers began arriving, and as is the theme throughout Central and South America, the onslaught of the Spanish conquistadors greatly decimated the Chorotegas' numbers through war and disease. These indigenous peoples retreated to the highlands where they could, leaving the lowlands to the Spanish and those captured for slave labor. In 1562 Juan Vasquez de Coronado arrived to take charge of the new colony as governor, establishing the capital of Cartago on the rich volcanic soils of the central area. Due to Spain's out-of-sight-out-of-mind attitude toward its colonies, Costa Rica received little assistance from the father country and so had to subsist on its own, fostering a sense of pride, egalitarianism and self-sufficiency that exists to this day. The little tropical country split with Spain in 1821, moving its capital to San Jose. The 1830's brought the reign of the coffee industry. By the 1850's coffee caught on in Europe, replacing tea as the favored drink in many countries, bringing European influences and more money into the economy than Costa Rica had ever seen.

Speaking on the eve of James D. Wolfensohn's departure to the region, World Bank officials told a Washington press conference that Central America is embracing democratic government and economic modernization, and is moving quickly to tackle widespread poverty in the region. Central America is coming into its own, because for the first time in nearly 40 years, the whole region is enjoying peace, democratic government, and a sense of economic optimism that it hasn't experienced before,"

Extractions: LA QUETZAL, GUATEMALA Dams on the river, the Usumacinta, are part of an international initiative known as the Puebla-Panama Plan. The brainchild of Mexican President Vicente Fox Quesada, the plan would channel $10 billion of foreign aid and local tax dollars to infrastructure projects stretching to Panama from the southern Mexican state of Puebla. Besides hydroelectricity, the plan includes seaports, highways, rail lines and more. The goal is to spur industrial development ranging from oil refineries to tree plantations to garment factories. Fox and the leaders of Central America's seven nations have rallied the construction industry and other business interests behind the plan, and a U.S.-dominated lending agency is spearheading the financing. Echoing the rhetoric behind the North American Free Trade Agreement and the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas, they promise "regional integration" and jobs for poor people. But indigenous leaders throughout the region say Puebla-Panama would only accelerate foreign plunder of their natural resources and wreak havoc on their cultures. Calling the plan one of the greatest threats since conquest, indigenous groups are forging coalitions to fight it. In La Quetzal, a March forum against Puebla-Panama drew representatives from 17 groups in five countries.
