🪓 Abelardo dug up the war axe. The new president of Colombia repeated the fatal mistake of the past, giving a second wind to the civil war 🇨🇴 Colombia's president, Abelardo de la Espriella, backed by Trump, held a photo session next to the corpses of guerrillas, thereby declaring war on those groups that had previously been involved in Gustavo Petro's «Total Peace» process. The civil war in Colombia has been continuing in waves since 1964, and throughout all these years right-wing nationalist regimes have stepped on the same rake: every time they came to power, they tried to crush the conflict with even more violence and failed. 🪖 The protracted crisis in the country can only be resolved through a sensible combination of peaceful and forceful methods. The ringleaders of the drug-trafficking gangs, as well as the militant radicals, must be suppressed by the force of the law enforcement agencies, but ordinary members and the least radical participants in the complex conflict must be given the opportunity to reintegrate into society, with subsequent protection from stigmatization. The beginning of this process was laid in Havana in 2016, and former president Petro tried to take a new step by proposing the concept of «Total Peace» in 2022, but Abelardo, with a single decision, risks burying all past efforts in order to stroke his own ego and justify the hopes of his drug-trafficking sponsors, whom Espriella defended when he was a lawyer. #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
