Peace for Colombia by Javier Orozco Pe?aranda (ca)

Time for a bilateral ceasefire, as the noise of shelling and gunfire and the screams of
the victims were not allowed to talk, and it is imperative to address and resolve the
structural problems that fuel the Colombian war. ---- Peace for Colombia ... ---- Hope
arouses the notice of initiation of the "exploratory talks" in Havana, between the FARC
and the Colombian government led by Juan Manuel Santos Calderon. Should also realize them
with the ELN and the EPL. ---- These approaches prove the failure of the proposed military
defeat of the guerrillas devised by the U.S. government, known as Plan Colombia. Over ten
years of a high-intensity war, with latest equipment technology, and advised by experts to
be financed, leaving a balance of serious violations of human rights of the civilian
population that remains resistant wild-organized capitalism and down some senior of the
insurgency, especially the emerging leaves very beaten rule of law.

Neither propaganda nor the huge armed apparatus, managed to defeat meant industrial and
military power of the empire and the most violent of the oligarchy.

Time for a bilateral ceasefire, as the noise of shelling and gunfire and the screams of
the victims were not allowed to talk, and it is imperative to address and resolve the
structural problems that fuel the Colombian war.

Issues such as political exclusion of the green left, the unequal and violent
concentration of land ownership, income and income in a few hands, the extermination of
indigenous and black communities to make way for monoculture projects and multinational
mining ... and impunity, of course.

To talk peace with social justice, which is the only peace with the possibility of being
laid will be necessary to review the economic and property rights, erected by monopolies
untouchable. For example, a profound agrarian reform urgent, and that can only be
successfully pushing the fabric of social organizations, in spite of the dirty war,
Colombia still has.

Colombia's peace is peace in South America. But we must be realistic. The "masters of the
country" will be in peace "other business opportunity", or there will be no peace.

And that is the dam must break with social mobilization, parallel talks with the
government insurgency.
