very strong gap between the large landowners of drug trafficking and A town in misery and began to

create agricultural cooperatives Diego cooperatives in general and his cooperatives in Morelos made

and the army opposed this march and when they were arriving in Trujillo, for example,

they shot the tires of the cars where I would be at lunch, they threatened a lot of people, they

shot like this left and right and Father Tiberius there in and he opened the church and and he asked

all the women and children to come into the church and he brought them the food and we know from

documents that we learned after the military began to sentence him to death since that night they

sent messages to State security agencies claiming that he is a

guerrilla leader for having supported the march and for having and protected women and children, they

located two leaders of these small companies and applied four perverse plans

the democracy plan in quotation marks was to install a base military at the entrance of the

the other two years they killed me the second they

did not kill them there they went to the two farms of the two great drug traffickers Villa Paola

del Alacrán and the farm Las Violets of Diego Montoya where they dismembered them dismembered

the main witness Daniel Arcila told how the greatest torturer was the greatest relief owner

declaim it while maintaining military operations throughout the country

that cannot be talked about and be consistent with peace when exemplary punishment is not carried

out the members of the state engaged in violence against the civil population

these bodies will be thrown into the river cauca when they detain the chivas or the willys

who were going to the The villages looking for the members of the cooperatives, if there

were none of the members, they murdered any peasant to put fear because

financed by drug trafficking were the moose, the ünida self-defense groups of Colombia,

that were murders of what today we call the 'false positives'

if the The army led by its commander general nicasio martínez gave instructions to his men

after the start of the duque government to improve their results in combat, including captures,

voluntary surrender and deaths, that would be the reissue of the 'false positives' of the uribe government

according to the military in the The meeting told them that they had to do whatever it takes including

using paramilitary groups soldiers who increase their deaths in combat are offered

incentives such as extra vacations just as before the officers received the message that they could

ally with far-right criminal groups today 4 years then the chain name is back on

public display again Uribe next door audios and videos compiled by the court would verify

that the chain in the name of the former president visited the demobilized Juan Guillermo Monsalve

several times to convince him to retract accusing him of having links with paramilitaries

and here we are

that we have

the military and paramilitaries and They took many peasants from their house while they

were sleeping, they took them to a ranch owned by one of the drug traffickers

and there they dismembered them with a chainsaw so that

was the hardest moment before the massacre Father Tiberio denounced that

from the pulpit because he already more or less he suspected who the perpetrators were

and then they already tried to disappear him also with several people that he brought

in the car one was his niece who lived in the parish

another was an architect who was also helping there in the parish

the four disappeared the search began a few days later

the body of father tiberio was found in the river cauca mut After

these 342 victims there were no guerrilla assassinations all were

crimes against humanity crimes are commanded by the same army

this was the most terrible moment of the trujillo massacre that the trujillo massacre lasted several

years the massacres had begun for more or less Less from the year 86 in the year 90 it was the climate is

more terrifying and continued until the year 94 more or less when we took the case to the inter-American commission

on human rights and when the commission already pressured the government to create

a commission There was a non-judicial investigation there, as the violence subsided a bit

but that was the way in which the father's story was broadly derived.

The public act of recognition of the state's responsibility in the

trujillo massacre was also accompanied by a commemoration day in memory of all

the victims, especially the father of tiberio fernández, a parish priest of trujillo who paid with his

life to defend social and peasant women, his body was found beheaded and mutilated

in the waters of the river cauca days after his disappearance on april 17, 1990 president

of colombia responsibility for the occurrence of the violent events in trujillo like this one,

we reject them in anyone who saves us the countess

For this reason they can fulfill the main era of mother roses a while ago they would be

for them to kill

us, we arrived with a single purpose to collaborate loyally to hauché since that day in addition

to the businessmen and landowners who in many cases were the same politicians

especially the allies of former president Uribe also took advantage of that death machine to

reach congress more than 98 parliamentarians were investigated by the prosecution for their links with

the paramilitaries so far 35 of the politicians have been convicted the parliamentarians chiles

medina and teodolindo avendaño were bought by the government lives to guarantee his re-election

the only enemies are those who use terror violence to silence the colombian people

to intimidate them to assassinate their most important protagonists luís carlos

galán was deceived in the plaza de soacha and it is a state crime because they lied to him and they

lied to the campaign saying that their safety was guaranteed all It was a highly

designed conspiracy in which groups for military mercenaries members of the da2

liberal politicians and even members of the army participated.The concentration of power in the presidency of

the republic is undemocratic that is another key step in the process of development of democracy

in the country reduce the powers of the head of state to distribute power

30 years after massacres like the one in trujillo Colombia has said no to war and has signed

the most expensive agreement the country has ever had, one that has cost 260 thousand homicides 7 million

displaced people and 8 million victims special justice for peace is clearly insufficient

but it is the best you have emos its main defect is that it should not only be to

judge the crimes of the military and former guerrillas but also for those who benefited from the

war, politicians, landowners and businessmen that elite wants to erase the historical memory and uses

all the means at their disposal to preserve their That is why it tries to convince

the people to reject the agreements that they do not realize that 129 of its 143 measures are to

end structural causes of the conflict such as misery and lack of opportunities

is the old game of deception as always and thank you to which the rich make the humble believe that they

can choose their rulers when in reality it is their companies and drug trafficking who

finance many political campaigns, it has been proven that Dr. Ernesto Samper Pisa does not

owe his presidency to drug trafficking money the Colombian youth grows without democracy

surrounded by mafias that are dedicated to emptying the coffers of the state and leaving them without opportunity tunities

to the method I am going to send, he gives it to me and it is nothing other than bribery, bribery, corruption

is part of the culture, so many just wait for their opportunity to join the plunder

regardless of the party in power, in almost the whole world it is governed for the

National oligarchies and these for foreign ones, the 'anything goes' of the neoliberalism that they practice includes

killing the peoples of hunger the military and financial bullying, something that is not difficult when you have

the governments and their armies at the service of those who oppose this injustice already the loss of

sovereignty of the peoples are criminalized as communists, enemies of

development and even terrorists and there is always a mindless willing to pull the trigger

those who have less scruples to steal and kill come to power in order to leave room to

kill representative democracy is a deception Colombians have left too much power in

few hands and in them they have not only ended their territory But their lives and those of their children

after this cruel murder, the people felt more afraid,

they felt orphaned and the people did not speak more repression yet and in the year 91 something unusual

called those responsible to trial and set them free

had not declared No one spoke about that from the intercongregational justice and peace commission

at the head Father Javier Giraldo great defender of human rights the case was presented to the

inter- american commission on human rights it was the first commission of truth in colombia

the cti of the prosecutor's office issued an order of capture against members of the army and the police who

allegedly participated in the murder, disappearance and theft of land of more than 300

peasants, as well as another 60 people among former military and former police public officials

will be linked to the investigation for alleged links with paramilitaries in collaboration

with the drug traffickers henry loaiza alias 'el alacrán' and diego montoya areas where the

families of the victims But they assure that after 20 years of the massacre, the threats continue

, the revocation of those acquittals was achieved

in 2009 and how many years had occurred for the group of lawyers at the

head of Dr. Eduardo Carreño to open the first processes to do justice

With the good result of condemning the Colombian state

for crimes against humanity by act of omission

ah

because here 50 massacres occurred throughout the canyon here where we can be seeing there may

be many other bodies on the river bank if with that agreement as they say And

as the prosecutor's office replied, there are no more bodies so that they guarantee us that they give us

a certificate that there are no more deaths for us to begin to show then if they are

my mind

to do it and with all the people so that it would be an ideal no I want to lose

is that we need mining today for the development of the country and we wonder what

development if we do not have drinking water we do not have access or to health we do not have access to

quality education, so what development are they talking about? We live with the

most miserable basic conditions if unsatisfied basic needs we live in conditions of

impoverishment more than 6 million displaced Colombians something like that almost as if all the

inhabitants of Bogota were displaced so that the boot has a population of 8 million there are

6 million so each constitutional court has said that it is not only the problem of

displacement that continues to occur but the unconstitutional violation of all the

rights of these communities that have been displaced that They are uprooted and in

misery today after racking for so many years our parents are their grandparents

looking for a territory to settle down to pay rent in various neighborhoods of the city in various rooms

in neighborhoods in quilín data we sat in a place that is our place and the state

now tells us that it wants to take us out Right now what is at stake is that or we want peace and

we think of a government that advances in this peace process to make peace with permanent and social

justice or we elect a government that what it wants is armed confrontation than

what wants is to advance with an extractivist economic model and not think of another vision of development for

the capitals and peasants who come today talking about the well agreement is to build new

housing scenarios different new scenarios of habitability let's say more sustainable for that

we say we do not give ourselves the territory of the painting is a possibility to embrace the territory because

they cannot continue to marginalize them you cannot develop them in the territories the city belongs to

everyone and for everyone and it must also be built and in the name of development they have impoverished us

in the name of development they have violated us in the name of development enslaved megan scepter

and ancestral in these times in which we live in those times of one s permanent egregation of

a systematic violation of rights we have to get together, that's why I think we have to shout

it is not only colombia guatemala is chile it is argentina it is salvador it is nicaragua who

has had to live this violation because of those plans of repression applied in Latin America 'under

the US national security doctrine and that were materialized in operations

and in plans such as the democracy plan the Colombian plan that under the facade of fumigating and ending

illicit crops was a repressive plan against the guerrillas and operations such as the

'operation union' that resulted in the dump in one of the communes of Medellín

at the end of the Second World War, the United States used its abundant material used to buy

from Latin American governments and dictatorships and signed numerous aid pacts In

order to guarantee its influence in the region, in Panama, in 1946, the School of the

Americas was created in which the Latin American officials and they were being militarily prepared

to repress their own countries and the forces contrary to the interests of the United States. Among the

subjects of this criminal school are drug trafficking, torture, terrorism, and murder.

This academy was the largest base to destabilize non-aligned governments

in America. latina 'and crush social movements change happens in 1984 to giorgio

in 2001 it was renamed the institute for security cooperation in the western hemisphere

, a name under which he continues his criminal pedagogy to this day,

more than 60,000 military personnel from 23 Latin American countries many are

infamous for their crimes against humanity such as Vladimiro

Montesinos Manuel Noriega Omar Torrijos Hugo Bánzer Heriberto Lazcano Ole Porto Galtier

who have led paramilitary groups drug trafficking networks and death squads

responsible for coups, torture and hundreds of thousands of murders

and The US has intervened 56 times militarily in Latin America

, spending on arms and defense has promoted, since Washington, takes a large part

of Colombia's resources and perpetuates violence because the enormous

military apparatus and the companies and investors that make a living from it need war continue

later today more than ever if memory is forbidden for us it is a challenge

a historical duty to not only know from the high schools that history of

only the heroes of independence but that history of today we are seeds, we are memory and

we demand justice from We do not bury the victims, we sow it, what rules do the people have and that is how

this process of Tiberius that they wanted to make disappear is still alive today, more alive than ever,

my first grave was made of water, the second of earth,

but I have already gone to work with God. and my spirit inhabits that huge mass grave

that is the Cauca River next to hundreds of victims and disappeared who ask for justice

years later I see that some n things remain the same while the humble only have time to

survive the powerful are dedicated to strengthening their empires while the humble are excluded from

education the powerful write books with their version of history which hides their crimes of

course while the children of the The humble kill each other by order of their superiors the children

of the powerful are educated to create crises and feed wars to conserve the power that

allows them to continue concentrating all the wealth in their hands so that what belongs to everyone becomes

their property private little by little in secret gradually so that there is no revolution

ignorance and despair make many believe that the way to peace is more

violence and that is why they look for a peacemaker a kind of authoritarian father a thug messiah

and forget that history It is full of tyrants who have taken advantage of

fear and hatred to legitimize their abuses of power to surround themselves

with mercenaries willing to genocide. or and of opportunists who dream of looting

but other things have changed because despite the misinformation of the noise of

the force, Colombians fed up with so much death have understood that they cannot stop

living that they must lower all the flags to be able to be

together that of peace and that peace is only achieved with truth and reparation

300 years as a colony and 200 as a country have drawn throughout the Colombian

territory the anatomy of our violence the geography the dispossession

the mother of our conflict is injustice and the father impunity That is why the dispossessors

oppose the peace accords so as not to be judged to preserve what they have stolen

so as not to have to return the six million hectares that their paramilitaries have taken from

the peasants so as not to dismantle the cancers of coca and illegal mining with which

the criminal gangs at their service finance gangs dedicated to killing peasants who claim

their land from ex-combatants who believe in peace and social activists who defend all of us

who is the name of security support militarism are unaware that peace is not

a balance of terrors or silence after a massacre

peace is a personal and collective continuum of justice and freedom

500 years of domination Wars and atrocities have taught us that the weapons our

children need are books that the only war we must all be in is against poverty and

that the powerful have a monopoly on force like this but we can defeat them if our strategy

is disobedience peaceful but resounding civilian so massive that it is incontestable that it allows us to

change the laws written to enrich the few for others that guarantee justice for all so

that at last 50 million we have a common project that no national or foreign man or woman

can write our destiny or try to sweep away this river of life called Colombia

more alive than ever
