International analysts warn of the danger that US aggressiveness poses to Latin America, with fears it could spark a revival of armed struggle in the region.
In an article published by Sputnik, expert Sergio Rodriguez pointed out that for some time now he has been warning of 'imperialist aggressiveness' as an option for policy making within the framework of representative democracy.
In this context, he said, the decision to return to arms announced by an important group of former combatants of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) headed by Commanders Ivan Marquez and Jesus Santrich, entails transcendental political consequences not only for Colombia, but also for the region and for the entire planet.
Rodriguez said that 'there is an atmosphere creates in which the FARC supposedly owes a debt to society, while the Colombian State has done its job well and has given the guerrillas a chance to reintegrate.'
That was not the case: the talks that took place in Havana were between two belligerent military forces, neither of which was able to defeat the other.
That is why they both came to the conclusion that the war (as a continuation of the policy) had no solution in the field and an alternative should be sought through talks and negotiations, he explained.
In this context, from November 24, 2016, when the Peace Agreement between the Colombian State and the FARC was signed, until July 20 of this year, 765 social, community, union, indigenous and human rights leaders have been assassinated, he stressed.
That figure includes 138 former guerrillas who took advantage of the process signed in Havana. Ten former FARC guerrillas in the process of reincorporation have been forcibly disappeared, in addition to 19 cases of attempted homicide, he added.
Paradoxically, said the analyst, this data did not prevent the United States from endorsing Colombia as a country that respects human rights. 'With this blank check, the Colombian state will shamelessly continue assassinating human rights activists, social leaders and demobilized ex-combatants of the FARC.
