DESCRIPTION:PLACA Presents Speaker: Uriel Antonio Carazo Garcia Uriel Anton
 io Carazo García U.S. Military and Economic Violence in Nicaragua and Link
 s to Migration Few people can speak to the impacts of U.S. military and ec
 onomic policy like Uriel Carazo\, a coordinator and founding member of The
  Promoters of Peace and of Development (Red de Promotores de Paz y de Desa
 rrollo) in Nicaragua. As a result of the U.S. backed Contra war in Nicarag
 ua in the 1980s\, Uriel was forced to migrate to Honduras. Later he was de
 eply involved in a broad movement in his country against the Central Ameri
 can Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) and facilitated community-level dialogue 
 on its potential impacts. Needless to say he is well acquainted with the t
 ies between U.S. foreign policy and how it pushes and pulls people to migr
 ate. Uriel will offer a unique perspective into this from his personal his
 tory as a soldier in the Contra War. When he was 12 years old\, he enrolle
 d in the Popular Sandinista army. Fighting throughout the 80s\, Uriel suff
 ered a traumatic injury from a landmine that resulted in the amputation of
  his foot. Migration and its root causes have been an integral part of the
  post-war reconciliation process. The Peace Promoters have found that most
  Nicaraguans\, no matter their political leaning or past military involvem
 ent - Contra or Sandinista - they are facing many of the same issues. Work
 ing closely with families as a conflict mediator\, a lawyer\, and a disabi
 lity rights activist\, Uriel has come more and more across a single issue:
  migration. He will talk about this migration\, and the large systematic d
 ynamics behind it\, especially in terms of Nicaragua’s often contentious r
 elationship with the United States.
