El Narco’s perpetual war

El Narco’s perpetual war

Posted on June 7, 2016 by Sabina Becker



Hey! Remember this guy? The one who’s so obsessed with waging war against the FARC in Colombia that he got up his own right-wing paramilitary army to murder local campesinos and blame it on the guerrillas? Yeah. HIM. Well, guess what. He’s still not in jail. He’s still not in The Hague. And he’s still stirring the shit by whatever means he can get his grubby little blood-stained and cocaine-dusted fingies on:


With the support of the ex-president of Colombia, Álvaro Uribe, a nationwide campaign has begun in Medellín to gather signatures opposing the peace process which the government of Juan Manuel Santos and the FARC-EP guerrillas have initiated to put an end to a half-century of armed conflict.

With a call to reject peace accords, the politician was the first to put down his signature at one of 27 tables, installed in the 25 municipalities of Medellín. He called upon the citizens to get on the Internet and sign the manifesto, available until August 4, rejecting the peace dialogue of Havana.

Delegates of the FARC-EP and the Colombian government have been in dialogue for more than three years in Havana, Cuba, seeking a peaceful exit from the armed conflict in Colombia, which has gone on for more than 50 years and has left some 600,000 dead.
