The events of the last hours in Colombia have taken an unexpected twist: the good news of the criminal shot that was ruthless and bloody alias "Raul Reyes, second in command of the terrorist group FARC, moved to the strains of a possible regional conflict between Colombia and its neighbors Ecuador and Venezuela - whose governments sponsor terrorism as suspected for a long time and as is now evident - to the angry complaints of Hugo Chávez and Rafael Correa in the 'violation of sovereignty' of Ecuador during the military operation that saw the terrorist.
triggered events the death of Reyes' will most absurd to the truly unusual. The Government said from the beginning, that the terrorist had been shot in Ecuador and his camp bombed by warplanes. It was reported that, immediately afterwards, land units penetrated the border and took his body to prevent the guerrilla leader's death denied, as usual, plus documents and four computers. That informed the President of Colombia to Ecuador's similar, and was reported widely by the media Saturday morning. At first, Correa accepted the explanation and said only that his government investigate the facts. Chavez was in the afternoon, who described the action as a violation of sovereignty and warned that if this were to happen in Venezuela would be 'casus belli', cause of war. Sunday
What was worse. Correa came to shout that, indeed, had made a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of Ecuador, and coincided with Chavez to say that there had been a battle but a "cowardly assassination" that "Reyes" had caught asleep to Colombia to Ecuador should have informed his forces captured the offender. So unthinkable, bizarre and amazing, Chávez - and his court - he provided a moment of silence in tribute to fallen colleague and called him a "good revolutionary" when any victim of the FARC has earned, in this government, the slightest consideration. The responses were accompanied from Nicaragua and its president, Daniel Ortega. Then came
joint decisions against Colombia. Chavez moved ten battalions to the border area, ordered to enlist the Sukhoi fighter jets - their new toys - and closed the embassy in Bogota and notify all staff that they should return immediately. Correa
lagged behind, sent troops to the border with Colombia, called its ambassador in Bogota and expelled Ambassador of Colombia in Quito. To this was added after Colonel coup, ousting of his country's diplomatic mission in Colombia.
The culmination of these insucesos, on Monday, several governments around the world took the bait and criticized Colombia's action but missed the heart of the matter: the fact that Raul Reyes' sleep soundly in Ecuador, which is the ultimate proof that the country harbors terrorists. That there were already more than a suspicion, the same Luis Eladio Perez, one of the hostages (for almost seven years) that the FARC released last week, said that the guerrillas had a time in that country, and that food era ecuatoriana, la dinamita era ecuatoriana y la munición era ecuatoriana. Eso no lo venden en la tienda de la esquina. Pero, además, en las fotografías y videos que se han conocido del campamento donde fue abatido el terrorista se puede apreciar que este no era un refugio pasajero. Las características de su construcción demuestran que era un albergue permanente de varios meses de construido y en el que se sentían seguros, precisamente, por estar ‘fuera del alcance’ del Estado colombiano.
Tras los actos terroristas de septiembre de 2001 en Washington y Nueva York, el Derecho Internacional prevé mayores esfuerzos contra el terrorismo que trascienden, incluso, la integridad territorial de un país, eso es secundario. The raid by the army and police of Colombia took place in a jungle area where there is no infrastructure of any kind or Ecuadorian civilians who may be victims 'accidental'. In these camps there were only Colombian criminals who torment their compatriots and run for cover in neighboring territories, there indeed violating the sovereignty by entering illegally because even the rulers of these countries have constitutional jurisdiction to grant letters of marque to offenders neighboring nations.
There being no possibility, then, to cause 'collateral damage', ran a clean operation in which besides had no intention of staying in the foreign territory or steal your domain. In fact, the operation lasted only 14 minutes and not even tried to hide it. In this, as the transparent, the Colombian government has set chair, has always acted with the truth - as demonstrated in the case of the child Emmanuel - while the FARC and his friends have always lied. Just remember the words of Hugo Chavez in a visit to Colombia in 2004: "No I will not support the Colombian guerrillas never, nor any subversive movement against any democratic government. I swear by God and my saintly mother (...) that if I supported the guerrillas would not face to come here Cartagena (see
Forces of Colombia could have taken without anxieties all dead, having emptied the camp and cleaned up, then assemble a theater of war on their territory and noted that "Reyes" was killed in Colombia. In that case, Ecuador would have kept total silence because the opposite would be to acknowledge their complicity. Why Uribe's government did not act well? It's a matter of belief, the Colombian government chose to do things the right, but Machiavelli would have advised otherwise. Some might say it also could or had to resort Ecuadorian authorities, but the truth is that there are so many doubts about its neutrality that would have been a success thwart terrorism and at this time would 'Kings' committing crimes against the Colombians.
Unfortunately, it is obvious that Ecuador is not asking for a couple of fallen trees - by bombs - but by terrorists to protect its territory, an attitude that should be punished by the international community. 3301940916609711
