Live fire exercises at Makua


The Advertiser reports on the live fire exercises at Makua Valley:

...the scars of the fire and past conflict remain: About 10 protesters blared a horn and held signs such as "U.S. Army out of Makua," and an Earthjustice attorney watched through binoculars to make sure small-arms and heavy machine gun rounds landed in prescribed areas.

More than 100 archaeological features and 40 endangered species are found in the valley, and new cultural sites continue to be found.

"The community spoke out after the fire in July: Enough already. Stop your bombing. Stop your bullets. Clean up and return Makua Valley," said Kyle Kajihiro, program director of the American Friends Service Committee, who was protesting outside Makua's front gate.

The Star-Bulletin also covers the story, and says there were nearly two dozen protestors.
