165. Please Commanders of the FARC, tell the truth

SO THE VEO YO - Year 6

La Paz of Colombia does have enemies, do not give them papaya!




"Colombia is ripe for Peace", I wrote in my column last week. Today, a few hours a car bomb attack in Bogotá, I have to add that, here and now, the Peace of Colombia's criminal enemies who do not hesitate to appeal to such terrorism to 'respect' their interests.

As I know the facts and the relief I rejoiced the soul with the good news that the attack did not cause fatalities or serious, were taking shape now write these lines.

As usual in such cases the average delay in publicizing the extent of the terrorist act that started shooting hypotheses about the possible perpetrators. It is a truism that the first dart-rightly or wrongly-point to the FARC. Always the case. So far so within the foreseeable. We are all aware that there are those who are interested in ascribing to the FARC that they neither made nor thought to do. The same thing happened before with the self-defense: Become fame to bed and lie in that film as "the last sentence you. "
However, I would argue that just as simple as throwing complex hypothesis unravel after a few hours on the same basis.

Who harms the attack? I mean who do harm to it awarded responsibility for the attack? At this juncture, just days away from the momentous speech of Juan Manuel Santos on the day of his inauguration, and just forty-eight hours of his meeting with Chavez in Santa Marta, whom I am convinced that the attack really hurts is people like ' Alfonso Cano 'are proposing that we're talking, man' Colombians about the beginning of the end of armed conflict through dialogue and political settlement.

That said I can think also undermine the intentions of the new President willing to bend the blade not only with the Government of Venezuela but also in the series of mishaps and clashes that occurred during the presidency of Uribe and Ecuador, the High Courts and the political opposition. Also, if Uribe has sought to go down in history as the president who won the international war without end, but has made progress in that direction, the first steps of President Santos indicated that he was charmed with the possibility of becoming the President who won Peace for Colombia.

In good faith and without calculation of any nature, I dare say that I do not think "no way" that the FARC secretariat, much less 'Alfonso Cano' are behind the terrorist attack this morning. I do not rule, however, that the FARC have also their 'wheels loose' little or no interest in the proposed dialogue with the Government is accepted. This should not surprise - the possible absence of monolithic unity today inside the FARC, because neither the leadership of 'Cano' is sufficiently strengthened following the death of Marulanda and Reyes, and communications are flowing between the various bodies that make decisions. Also, not least, keep in mind that the infiltration is taking a toll on the exposed periphery, especially in cities, and not only there-of farianos. This is the result of "democratic security" and continues to face risks hatching a possible change in government policy strategy for resolving the conflict. Change of strategy is still 'see' but which are being woven hypothesis that safety concerns-and many-to those who benefit from the continuation of the conflict, not only in organized crime but also between 'Bad apples' who swarm around the state and its meanders.

So, just as I do not think of anything better to politely ask the Secretariat, and particularly to 'Alfonso Cano'-to take or deny their responsibility for the attack today. If you have any responsibility for it, please, on behalf of those who want to build the Peace of Colombia, say it, express it clearly. Do not ask them to explain the possible reasons that justify not simply ask that you make known to Colombians who did if they did.

But with the same intention, clarifying, and 'revolutionary honesta'-I ask the Secretariat and 'Alfonso Cano', which, otherwise, deny emphatically and without any doubt, any liability for action or inaction on the criminal attack today if they were not involved this time.

is little if any effort is not put Talanquera to what in itself is already very difficult, as to win back the hearts of Colombians to the peace talks and political settlement agreed. For a start, and today, which fortunately was not tragedy be the turning point that achieves tune with the necessity of virtue:

Virtue recognize and assume the own guilt, or innocence claim outraged-and need-and-restore vital in Colombia-the sooner, the foundation of trust and dialogue, above all enmity and rifle. The time required

credibility, truth, commitment to peace and justice. Do not forget, if we turn the page, also on issues of violence and armed conflict.


So I see myself.

164. Colombia is ripe for Peace!

SEE ME AND THE - Year 6

Welcome message 'Alfonso Cano' and the response of Angelino Garzón

The internal armed conflict, by mutations, has always revolved around the issue of land , property distribution, employment and productivity, will be a historic legacy that will receive the President Santos. He will see what does or does not do endless war, his opportunity to make peace the will, I hope you do not throw your keys into the sea as with Pastrana and the pride shred as Uribe.

and successive State Governments Colombia and have huge debts victims, surely priceless in its entirety, but indispensable to the last, because neither the guerrillas or the paramilitaries have been made over five decades of conflict actors have become had not been for the negligence, Machiavellianism and the corruption of so many 'bad apples' who barricaded behind the tinsel officers have never met with truth, justice and reparation. Neither peace nor were allowed to do.

This does not exempt illegal elements of his many sins and responsibilities but at the time of the indictments and convictions, the State governments should not remain aloof and untouchable, as if they were not part and parcel, and a rough and foul handbook on their backs. Since the days of 'La Violencia' liberal, conservative, liberal guerrillas, the police 'chulavitas' and 'birds' conservatives, through the Cold War and the Cuban Revolution, the National Front and the Communist guerrillas, paramilitaries and the primitive marimbera bonanza, drug trafficking, the Medellin cartel and paramilitary commandos of the "Mexican" Rodriguez Gacha, the Castaño brothers, the combination of forms of struggle, the urban guerrilla M 19, the holocaust of the Palace of Justice and a long list etcetera, which includes ACCU-AUC, the "Pepes" and the MAS, the narco-economy and the drug crops, money laundering, spraying and kidnappings ... the Plan LASO (Latin American Security Operation) and Plan Colombia, the School of the Americas Panama, the vagaries of extradition, "faceless judges", the "para-politics', the extermination of the Patriotic Union, the land mines, chain saws and chains of the jungle, the 'rabbits' to the peace process, children of war and Machuca and Bojayá in all its horror. And to crown such disgrace 'false positives' and espionage to Parliament and the Government's political opponents to be, not to the dustbin of history as Chavez said, but rather to the dock where people should not be absent from the Government of the Democratic Security squandered the historic opportunity to dismantle the components fully armed, political and economic paramilitaries and betraying Ralito Agreements, preferred to recycle at home with the paramilitary 'BACRIM' which are nothing but the stark demonstration that peace in Colombia and the end of all paramilitary groups has always been alien to the intentions of President Uribe. It is the government that had the gall to deny the existence of armed conflict, against all evidence to deny their causes and reasons, denying the Colombians, for eight long years to continue the arduous path that would come true freedom of all hostages and the beginning of the agreed order entered into armed conflict.

The great historical error was President Uribe missed his military victories and neglect preparing the ground for negotiations and political settlement. The war for the war itself, and the obsession to see rendered to his feet to the enemies is not a solution, but for those who are profiting from the war, here and now, is to say those who profit from drug trafficking and its links . Raising unwinnable wars is only the excuse for not having to admit that proposed is the perpetuation of the conflict, for political gain or economic or both, and mounted upon him with unmentionable purposes, built on victims, victims and more victims.

In recent days from disparate corners and facing today have taken steps and expressions to the urgency and importance of the next Government, the Government of the Peace of Colombia. Striking, restful and conducive to the words of Angelino Garzón, organizers hopeful and manifestations of the Church in Colombia, purposeful and measured the message 'Alfonso Cano', innovative, accurate and timely exchange of letters between eight demobilized former paramilitary leaders and the representative Ivan Cepeda and former presidential candidate Gustavo Petro. And on the same row, seeds of peace, not a few columnists from various ideological trends emphasize more the need to open paths of dialogue to begin to delineate the beginning of the end of the humanitarian crisis in Colombia many years ago .

case of internal armed conflict more enduring and complex in Latin America, where the globalization of drug trafficking and global marketing of weapons and precursor chemicals, and general and universal demand for cocaine and heroin, mainly influences the criminal policy and Justice of the countries world's most powerful, we can only claim the negotiated and peaceful settlement of Colombia's war participation of the international community, particularly discreet but effective accompaniment to the U.S., the European Union, UNASUR, the International Criminal Court and the United Nations and the facilitation of the Holy Mother Church and NGOs. I dare say that taking the 'bull by the horns' of the final settlement of internal armed conflict will involve a huge effort that will test the solidity ethics, not only diplomatic and political state, government and illegal actors, but he is called to be the most relevant case of concerted peacemaking and national reconciliation that would have occurred worldwide since the end of World War II.

For this and many other things beyond the limits of this column, and that we will savor in the next writings, we can only foresee and predict that Dr. Juan Manuel Santos faces the challenge of being the President of the Peace of Colombia dedication and sensitivity, care and requires the epic spirit of reconciliation that will honor his memory and his government more than any war won, more than any bloodshed.

Colombia is ripe for peace! Lance you the next President Santos August 7, his message to the world about the truth of a fist, which Colombia does not disappoint.

So I see myself.
