Colombia peace talks suffer from ‘humanitarian void': NGO

[Judi Lynn]

1. Here's something most people know, and fascists ignore.

From the article:

According to the CINEP report, around 11% of the human rights violations in Colombia are committed by the FARC. The worst offenders, paramilitary successor groups, are not participating in the talks.

More than 30,000 members of Colombia’s paramilitaries participated in a demobilization process between 2003 and 2006 during the administration of Alvaro Uribe. According to Human Rights Watch, however, many participants were not actually members, and many of the paramilitary simply regrouped and formed successor groups, now called “BaCrim” (“bandas criminales,” or criminals bands) by the government.

These groups, along with state forces, are the primary violators of human rights in Colombia.

Very, very sad. Our corporate "news" sources go out of their way to completely avoid mentioning this colossal piece of REALITY.
