Once again, the narcoterrorism has had success in imposing its agenda in the hemispheric relationship, which was about to cause a domino like diplomatic crises among Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Nicaragua, as a result of the death of one of the most relevant Farc’s leader, the narcoterrorist “Raul Reyes”. As never before the hemispheric governments were and will be confronted for their position against this subversive movement, which is considered for some of our leaders like a belligerent group, which must be supported in his fight and its right to do so, while a second group has chosen to keep a neutral and shy position, and finally a third group of governments are against this movement calling them narcoterrorists. This split was also evident with the death of “Raul Reyes” and the other terrorists, whereas for some of the leaders it was considered like an assassination or a massacre, for others it was the result from a clash among the Colombian army and police forces against the irregular troops. This fact in spite of the friendly gesture expressed in the Santo Domingo´s meeting and the facts that took place in the OAS, will never change the governants’ position regarding this scourge, the help and protection will continue and it will be done openly, consequently the intervention will take a new turn not only in Colombia but in the whole region and beyond, no matter what the international community might think of it, there is nothing to hide, everything has been said in this scenery of the “people who lose or win”, certainly the big winner in this confrontation is the narcoterrorism, who with great skill has known to impose its hemispheric relationships agenda, which go through a severe crisis, not only by the overwhelming Ecuadorian land sovereignty violation, which we agree, but the background that stems from the different position that exist to confront the narcoterrorism, which depend consequently from different ideological and political situations and not to the actual threat that this deed represents for humanity.
Fortunately this narcoterrorism imposed agenda was to a false political leader's level, since the civil society composed mostly by: intellectuals, academicians, students, artists, entrepreneurs, businessmen, professionals, workers, social groups in general, and mass media, among many reject the ferocious and bloodthisty acts carried out by this movement, which is active not only in Colombia but in the whole region, with representatives far beyond, they point out that their struggle conforms an ideological and political project, specifically, the Bolivarian Project whose head is the President Hugo Chavez, which can cause great hassle if the government denies this group asseveration.
This circumstance makes more intricate our hemispheric relationships, because it is not dealt
with an isolated fact as the violation of Ecuador’s sovereignty, but a whole ideological and political agenda.
As it may be remembered this relationship crises, was not limited to the ambassadors retreat, but to the army mobilization toward the border, border shutdown, blocking the commerce between both countries, and accusation interchange. According to Colombian authorities the information found in Raul Reyes’s computers, shows information that purport that the president Hugo Chavez from Venezuela and Rafael Correa from Ecuador are committed to protect and support the Farc with money and weapons. This fact cannot be overcome by a simple handshake or an embrace, as it happened in Rio’s V Meeting, which was held in Santo Domingo. Our countries and the international community are urged to demand an explanation about it, the Colombian Government as well as OAS, the United Nations, among many international and competent organizations related to security and police connected issues, and those who have the responsibility regarding the political stability and peace making in our countries. they are compelled to investigate and respond for the denouncements or accusations so evil, that many of them could be regarded as crimes against humanity
The political leaders, in presidential charges, have not only the right but are obliged to have these situations cleared, due to the position and investiture that State Chiefs fulfill, consequently they must be the first one interested in solving this matter, because their images and personal credibility are questioned or at dispute, the position they fulfill produce an effect directly or indirectly on the society they represent.
Up to the clearance of this fact, doubts und mistrusts will continue, not only among the offense charging governors, but from the societies that confront them. There are many questions after Rio’s meeting, which must be answered by Colombian, Venezuelan and Ecuador: will they be following to reveal the information contained in the found computers ?, the ones that purport the two presidents of State are involved in supporting and protecting the narcoterrorism, as a part of a political project strategy; what will happen with president chavez’s threat to send the Sukhoy planes to Colombia?, the threat not to buy Colombian products any more?, the Colombian enterprise expropriation threat or their nationalization, and many other threat that it would not they were not happen, not even like simple threats or turn them into reality, for our people welfare, who claim to live in peace and harmony. Referring to the president Correa who besides having sent troops to the border, threatened to bomb the Colombian territories, to its institution which shelter paramilitary. And the obsessive idea that the OAS condemns Colombia, last but not least the threat to get to the final of the way. I do not understand what he pretends, He succeeded in getting the hemispheric community support regarding the violation of his territory by Colombian, whose government recognized and excused for it. As far as I am concerned, the president Correa, does not correspond to a state president, and with a conflictive and not conciliating attitude, is uncomfortable for the region. The support received by the sovereignty violation of his country might die out, he might be left alone with his warrior desires , whereas the death of one of his country man jointly with Raul Reyes will be irrelevant to the diplomatic point of view unless he declares himself as a terrorist defender, this fact represents for the same country a danger; on the contrary, he should be very thankful to the government of Colombia for having gotten rid of this scourge, people, who protect criminals and assassins, run the risk to be confused with one of them, I hope that this attitude corresponds with internal politic and does not intend to protect or support the narcoterrorism; which must be confronted and defeated. There is not discussion about this issue, neither the government can be claiming for these assassins' human rights, on the contrary, they are obliged to comply with human rights victims caused by these criminal groups, with whom we can not dialogue or we cannot be submitted to their humanitarian interchange strategy, because this fact is used politically.
If we take into account the variety of points of view to face the narcoterrorism, and the Colombian Ecuador clash outcome. Our hemispheric Governors should not follow the game to this terrible scourge, which has constituted in a threat to humanity, listen to the people who reject these criminals' methods and acts, make less intense your language and your actions that can be exploited by these irregular groups and their sympathizers, learn from the artist and the public who were at the concert “Paz sin Fronteras” (Peace without borders), which was held at Simon Bolivar Bridge, on March 10,2008, this bridge unites the two brother like people. Colombia and Venezuela. The message was clear and unequivocal; don't make war, make peace.
In this historical event, in which participated famous singers like “Juanes” (Organizer), Alejandro Sanz, Miguel Bose, Juan Luis Guerra, Carlos Vives, Ricardo Montaner y Fernando Velazco, demonstrated, in spite of the Shakira absence, that our people love peace and do not want a war or any other form of violence. They love life, but they don’t love death.
Sirs political leaders, if you keep up with the feelings of your people, act and behave according to your level, like real statesmen and not like bullies or long lasting provokers to incite hatred and violence inside or outside your borderlines, throw to the trash basket your narcoterrorism agenda and organize your own agenda to put up with this scourge. It is not justified when this problem is touched on, in international meetings and outside, we are confronted , we should not play their game, by recurring to threats and disqualifications, wearing out the credibility and leadership from our newborn democracies.
In addition to the deploring situation in which our muddy hemispheric relations are, the fact is that many nations are particpating in an armament race, without taking into account the consequences of their deeds, which may be startling for the region. We don’t want a political ideological confrontation scenery, which may respond to the narcoterrorism strategy
