Peace in Colombia does not occur
IN USA, Florida, It is preparing the trial of former military and Lang Tsveyfelhoferom, who are accused of robbery and murder. For the sake of three thousand dollars they were riddled with bullets American couple. More recently, they were mercenaries in the Ukraine, They fought in the ranks of the banned in Russia "Right Sector" *, acting under the auspices of the CIA, then they were sent to Colombia to fight the "Communist regime and Maduro".
This story is interesting, that shows a concrete example: mercenaries, paid by the United States, from around the world are flocking to Colombia. Terror professionals feel at ease here. Almost every day in Colombia kill social activist and former guerrillas of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
partisan association FARC It was created in 1964 in response to the terror of Right Forces. a view to FARC It was the construction of a socialist society. Having established control over a large part of the territory, "FARC" was built there schools, hospital, protect residents from landowners, drug cartels and paramilitary (paramilitary groups, Colombian voennnymi used for punitive operations).
AT 2016 the Government of Colombia and the guerrillas signed a peace agreement. The Government has pledged to grant amnesty to the guerrillas and legalize FARC. It was promised agrarian reform. As a result of these agreements it appeared the party "total revolutionary alternative force". Party received in 5 seats in the upper and lower houses of parliament. The purpose of it is set to build a society, based on social justice: "Only in the state, liberated from the domination of the capitalist elite, the poor have the future. Colombia needs a new policy, the center of which are the interests of the working people ". But peace in Colombia and has not come. After the conclusion of peace agreements killed hundreds of former guerrillas.
Among the victims is dominated by social activists - people, defending the ideas of social justice, and never who took up arms. Many of these residents were treated in the guerrilla zones, taught in schools, defended the Indians on the forums, They took part in the protests against the predation of oil- and mining companies, against the excesses of landlords, are selected from the peasants threatened with the death of their allotments.
The executors of the attacks against social activists are selective footage of armed right-wing groups - the paramilitaries. By wealthy landowners and drug cartels, with the support of government, paramilitaries for decades kept at bay Columbia residents. Despite the formal dissolution, their troops are today. The authorities, although they promised amnesty, held in prisons dozens and hundreds of former fighters FARC, not even embarked on agrarian reform. Over the past year, many Colombian leftist, not only members and supporters FARC, received threatening letters: "We will kill all of you".
In fact, the Government of Colombia leads demobilized personnel FARC and their allies in the fight against the destruction of.
And now once again taking up arms in Colombia. Accusing authorities in the extermination of the former rebels, several commanders FARC recreated the total number of units 1,2 to 1,5 thousand. The greatest impact caused the care head underground FARC Ivan Marquez, who always had a skeptical attitude towards the peace agreements and in many ways he was right. Ivan Marquez backed warlord Jesús Santrich and some other "Comandante". Deadlocked peace talks and government on the other guerrilla organization - the National Liberation Army (THE N).
Colombia is far from democracy. Today it is a bastion of strength, have adopted the tradition of bloody dictators of Somoza and Pinochet to Stroessner. For decades, Washington brought to power in Colombia "their people". The current president Ivan Duque - one of them. At the center of his presidential duties - creating conditions for foreign investment and the strengthening of the alliance with the United States. I have not lost influence and shadow Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, recruited by the CIA in the mid-1980s on the compromising evidence. by taking into account the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) he walked like a drug dealer under number 82. When it finally entrenched in Colombia as a US bridgehead in Latin America.
Ignoring cocaine production growth in Colombia, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced in June 2018 Colombia, on the accession to the North Atlantic alliance as a "global partner". Retraction of Colombia in alliance structures largely focused on its transformation into the Punisher whole region.
President Duque comply with tough political line with regard to neighboring Venezuela. The situation on the border more acute, and the West accuses the Bolivarian Government of Venezuela. There is a real opportunity to spend in Colombia operating time CIA major provocation, to interrupt the peace process and to blame it on Venezuela. The government of Nicolas Maduro refers to the danger seriously: attempts to destabilize Venezuela and explain the necessity of the invasion of that country threatened, allegedly created the Bolivarian regime, sound from Bogota and Washington is not the first year. The question is:, It will be decided whether it is the administration Trump.
Under the pretext of combating drug trafficking at bases in Colombia are housed thousands of American troops. Representatives of the US Southern Command, assured, that intervention plans in Venezuela there is no. Unwinds until another standard script. The US Justice Department has accused President Maduro and several of his staff involvement in drug trafficking. The State Department announced a multi-million dollar reward for information, which will lead to their arrest. The essence of the charges is: "Occupying key positions in the government of Maduro regime, these individuals undermines public confidence, facilitating the supply of drugs from Venezuela, including control of the aircraft, departing from Venezuelan airbase, as well as control over trafficking routes through Venezuelan ports ".
any rumors, supplied by American agents in Venezuela, perceived in Washington as the truth. although it is known, that drug production labs are in Colombian territory under the protection of the Colombian counterintelligence and accountable to them paramilitary, and transporting products carried logkomotornymi planes, registered in the US. Dozens of cases, when the Venezuelan Air Force shot down the aircraft over its territory.
Maduro has repeatedly warned Washington, that any attempt to use force against Venezuela "Lead to worse Vietnamese embodiment". And these words - not empty words.
