The two day Community of South American Nations summit is being hosted by Bolivian President Evo Morales and will bring together Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva - both populists fresh off landslide presidential victories in their countries - as well as Socialist Chilean President Michelle Bachelet and Ecuadorean President-elect Rafael Correa. Nicaragua's new President-elect Daniel Ortega will also attend as a guest from Central America. As the leaders arrived, demonstrators for and against made their views heard. At the airport in Cochabamba, two female protestors were arrested when they staged a sit-in against against Morales' government. "All the presidents are going to realise (referring to Latin American presidents visiting Bolivia for summit) that Bolivia is oppressed, look at Santa Cruz," one protestor said. In contrast Morales - Bolivia's first Indian president - convened a "complementary" and festive conference to give the continent's Indian groups, trade unions, landless peasants and local coca farmers a greater voice in South America's future. Indigenous leaders from fifteen different countries were at the second day of the Social Forum for the Integration of People. Meanwhile, protests in Santa Cruz targeted the home of a prominent opposition politician and the offices of a nonprofit group run by a minister in Morales' government. Gunfire was also reported outside the home of an anti-Morales student leader and a church office, apparently in retribution for an incident in which anti-Morales university students smashed their way into a federal building in Santa Cruz and burned an image of the president. They also attacked the offices of a pro-Morales human rights organisation. In addition, hundreds remain on hunger strike nationwide to protest Morales' control over an assembly called to rewrite the constitution. The Community of South American Nations summit is aimed at trade and energy issues, as well as weaving closer economic ties between South American nations split between the Mercosur, the South American common trade market and Andean trade pacts formed by Andean countries.
