'We'll have to unmask them all': former warlord about Colombia's private sector


Adriaan Alsema Sep 3, 2019

One of the leaders of now-defunct paramilitary group AUC will “unmask” businesses and military commanders allegedly responsible for war crimes before Colombia’s war crimes tribunal.

Ivan Roberto Duque used to be “Ernesto Baez,” the political chief of the AUC’s Bloque Central Bolivar (BCB). Now he is one of the most active former paramilitary commanders in the peace process with the FARC.

‘Duque betraying FARC like Uribe betrayed AUC’
At a forum at the University of Caldas in Manizales, the former AUC chief accused the government of President Ivan Duque of betraying the FARC exactly like the president’s political patron, former President Alvaro Uribe.

The former paramilitary chief isn’t done with those pretended being legitimate businessmen, politicians or military officials while he was serving prison. “We’ll have to unmask them all with the help of the Special Justice (sic) for Peace,” (JEP), Duque told the students.
