"... We stand firmly and in our convictions, stating that we are committed fully to life, to uphold ethical principles that only the dignity of humanity and harmony of nature and despite the ongoing horrors that still live are not going back to our beliefs and everyday experiences ... "
On February 21 we again celebrated another year of the slaughter which was made by army against eight people, seven of them members of our community, including a great leader, Luis Eduardo war. We have thought and prayed the memory of each one, they keep telling us the way forward in the midst of impunity and injustice.
Again we felt the pain of his absence and this has led to still feel that suffering against all the horrors that were committed against members of our community and people in the area.
has been a time to strengthen those principles that have believed our leaders and martyrs of the community, principles that we continue to show a path of consistency and firmness in a world that destroys itself in the war, in GM, in displacement and in many ways death.
We had space to reflect with other communities and experience the memory as something ongoing, never gives us momentum to continue walking, while the strength to look this alternative has become a reality in today. We share what has been the agricultural center, a consistent effort with nature, with self sufficiency and in opposite to the logic of total armed actors: armed forces, paramilitaries and guerrillas. From this commitment to life is that we said no to GMOs in their products, biofuels, which is being done to the eviction and destruction of biodiversity and communities.
We said in the six years that our leaders are alive, and we must defend collectivized land and because it is sacred and all, not to destroy but to live there in harmony, so that we oppose plundering of natural resources holdings in coal mines or hydro impunity covered in only generate destruction and displacement like what is happening now against the community.
We stand firmly and in our convictions, stating that we are committed fully to life only by ethical principles that uphold the dignity of humanity and harmony of nature and despite the ongoing horrors continue living are not going back to our beliefs and daily life, so painful but with the strength we build community we note the following facts:
- Between days 14 and 17 February 2011 in the morning, planes Glyphosate fumigations performed on subsistence crops, water and community land in the area of \u200b\u200bHigh Joaquín. In our community no member is coca it is a principle of our process, we reject the spraying of pesticides that harm the nature and destroy the environment with irreversible damage.
- The March 2, 2011, about 8 hours, more than 20 paramilitaries were present in the Banana and Arenas Bajas, camouflage carrying guns and badges saying AUC, the paramilitary said in each house of the two paths that people could work in peace they would not do anything, just the goal was to end this hp Peace Community, it has started growing coca and that got involved with the community if died as he was going to happen to those h. guerrillas in the community. The paramilitaries are openly and brazenly walk with the complacency of the security forces from bases in New Antioquia and Batata.
- From March 1, 2011 , have been occurring daily fighting between the army and the guerrillas in various streets in the area in fighting has been Mulatos placing daily in great distress to the families of such different paths.
- The March 7, 2011 , around 11 am in the village of Nain, two men in civilian clothes arrived at the home of John True was called to the door and killed. The men identified themselves as FARC guerrillas. John had a son a year and his partner was expecting another child, our solidarity with his family, which we expect support from our sense of community.
The facts speak for themselves, we are faced with this logic of death looking devastated, beating civilians and only want paths of exile, displacement and sorrow again cling to the truth and solidarity, we will continue the armed actors that hate and want to end: the life, this is a commitment that many in different parts the world have taken up and that gives us the strength to keep walking, because we do not move alone in this respect for human dignity integral.
