Francisco de Orellana, Sep 1 (EFE).- The Coca River's chocolaty color and collapsed banks are a reflection of an incident that for many indigenous populations has been a historical divide, splitting their way of life and livelihood into before and after.It happened on Apr. 7 when, at about 80 km (50 miles) upstream, near the slopes of the Reventador volcano, three conduits of two pipelines that go from the Amazon to the Ecuadorian coast ruptured due to a landslide in a highly seismic region.It only took a little while for the crude oil to go downstream into the Amazonian provinces of Sucumbíos and Orellana to reach Napo, where it was equally lucky.
