“... Piñera said information in the Colombian document helped link what he called terrorism in Araucanía, mainly by indigenous Mapuche groups, with FARC...”

Sounds like an excuse for a 'crackdown' ............ Hitler used the same technique!

Sadly, you are right..... The Mapuches have become a nuisance for the Big Capital and their Mega Projects in Patagonia.....
More than 70 Mapuches have been on hungerstrikes during the last couple of months in Chile ...... Did you read anything about it in here? In this “MercoSur News Agency”? No.....
But look in their archives how many times the 20 or so Cuban hungerstrikers have been mentioned........
Luckily there are different times now and this old strategy of calling people terrorist and dissapearing them does not work so well anymore.... At least in our part of the world :-)
