Smoke from fires set by protesters goes up as they leave their protest camp on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers property in southern Morton County, near Cannon Ball, N.D., Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2017. Most of the Dakota Access pipeline opponents abandoned their protest camp Wednesday ahead of a government deadline to get off the federal land, and authorities moved to arrest some who defied the order in a final show of dissent.

Le camp des opposants au projet Dakota Access Pipeline est désormais chose du passé. Après avoir mis le feu à de nombreuses tentes et structures mercredi, les derniers manifestants toujours présents sur le site ont été arrêtés jeudi en début de journée. L’armée avait donné jusqu’à ce matin aux protestataires pour démanteler leur camp installé depuis près d’un an.
Les autochtones de Standing Rock s’opposent au projet du pipeline Dakota Access qui passera sous de nombreuses rivières dont est tirée de l’eau potable. Après avoir été écarté par l’administration de Barack Obama, le projet d’oléoduc a été relancé au début du mois de février par le nouveau président américain, Donald Trump.
