have to push back the election date because the nation needed to prepare for the upcoming coronation of the king and that the nation wasn't ready for elections that's when we saw these protests start to ramp up but also interestingly on saturday there was a counter protest very nearby thomas a university here now this is something we really hadn't seen before they were saying that pushing for elections causes chaos and they said there can't be elections until there is unity not something we really haven't seen as a small group of these in sync very close here to where this protest movement is going on right now now we look forward there are indications that in this upcoming week there could be a royal decree about the election date now the elections cannot be held until there's a war oil official royal decree comes out saying what the election day will be that's and to say that this upcoming week for march twenty fourth now that's something the organizers here say will bring these protests to a stop if there's a royal decree saying that these elections will take place in march there is concern because there's a legal deadline that they have to take place by may not. have drawn in the

fuel from an illegal tap when the blast happened dozens are still missing those are the headlines next stop inside story. what now for peace in colombia its last remaining rebel group is blamed for the police academy bomb blast in bogota how does the attack threaten the fragile state beneath the following half a century of conflict this is inside story. hello

and welcome to the program fully back to bowl it's the deadliest attack in colombia for fifteen years ten days car bomb blast in bogota kills twenty people and injured dozens in a police academy president even decays brain in colombia's last remaining rebel group the l.n. and his renewed arrest orders for commanders who have been in cuba for peace talks but start just in your is there. no more no more deaths nothing is an attack on the environment colombia says' no more the c.m. to squat in place yet the two hundred and forty seven kidnapped every year and about two people every three days ellen is and has been a criminal machine of kidnappings and attacks syquest colombia today's for all of colombia it is clear that the e l m has no genuine will for peace al-jazeera is alexander amputees following events in bogota. president even addressed the

nation late on friday doing what everybody was expecting ending the possibility of a reactivation of peace negotiations with. the active rebel group in a call longer. that happened after the government and now that land was behind the car bomb backpack that killed twenty young a day on terrorism. here in the capital. no ideology no political fight can justify the horror that colombians had to endure that he will reactivate the international arrest warrant of the leadership who is in cuba and they were expecting the restart of the peace negotiations for many here do they have oh no other option this tack on and this

means that colombia will not have the possibility at least for now to reach a complete peace something that most colombians hope could happen. the largest rebel group in the country the fark had an agreement with the colombian government back in two thousand and sixteen more background on the national liberation army widely known as the e l n it's colombia's last remaining active group of iran two thousand rebels the left wing group was founded in one thousand nine hundred sixty four by roman catholic priests and students inspired by the cuban revolution and marxist ideology there on struggle is for a popular democracy and equal distribution of land and wealth their activities include kidnappings cocaine trafficking blowing up oil pipelines and attacking multinational companies both the us and e.u. consider the l.n. a terrorist organization and began formal talks with the colombian government in

twenty sixteen after then president juan manuel santos signed a landmark these deal with the largest rebel group the far the temporary ceasefire was in october twenty seventeen after more than fifty years of conflicts the group resumed attacks a year ago when the one hundred one day ceasefire agreement expired and leaders demanded a new deal peace talks resumes last may first in ecuador then in cuba but were suspended into. september when the new president even dukie dissolved the government's negotiation team in havana and demanded that un stop all criminal activities it was. let's bring in our panel now joining us from bogota is jorge wrists repl director of sirach a conflict analysis research center in boston lona spain we're joined on skype by christiane hairballs simer director of the international council an institute for

peace and also in bogota colombia arlene taken a professor of international relations at universidad dead rosario thank you all for joining us on inside story thank you so much for your time jorge wrists a pool in bogota if i can start with you does this attack indeed bear the hallmarks of and if it does what message are they sending the colombian government. well first yes it does bear the marks of a yell and that's the way they have all paraded in the past in their terrorist attacks the most recent one happened. and it was very similar despite some minor differences that usually proceeding that way attacking the type of targets but most important probably is the fact that there is sufficient evidence in my view brought forward by the colombian prosecutor's offices. provide credit is credibility to the

accusation that they did it to. against the leadership the other point in terms of the message it's basically a message that we do not know if it is of the entire group which is a federated quite known cohesive group in terms of decision taken ways dad is at least from one part of the group that they are withdrawing their support for the eleven to negotiate to the government an end to the. to the conflict that they have going on for the past fifty two years with their government of colombia interesting car hey the target at the general santa police academy supposed to be want to bogota most protected installations what does the fact that they were able to target this military academy say about their strength and also what does it say about the government the authorities level of preparedness.

well one has to say that it is very difficult to have complete protection against a terrorist attack i mean it's very difficult to. say so complete in vulnerability to these type of attacks second this was a center of studies it was actually not a military but a civilian place in the sense that the police is a civilian institution in colombia of course there were armed guards and there was protection but this is not a place where police operation and we're dealing carry out there is not a storage of goans or explosives it is not as well guarded us all there are police installations these off to roll is a university center where there are hundreds if not thousands of students preparing for their careers their careers in terms of police officers and that's why there were by the way show many foreigners that were studying for because all to central

america in these occurred in our lane in bogota even duquesne was elected colombia's president on a no and we form and not an order platform i should say but he somewhat moderated once he took office do you think this attack will change his course how do you see the government responding in the short and in the long term. i think the government returning to a hard handed strategy unfortunately this was ducasse promise as you mentioned and he had attempted to strike a more can fill or it can kill or a tory tone and to take a middle road not rejecting completely the peace process but also not buying into them completely as a one man like those of previous president has been accused of doing so given the new military and police leadership the duca has appointed at the end of last year

and given this event and his announcement that he's going to end any possibility in the near future of talks of the election i think that what we can expect is a return to more violence a more militarized strategy a little help here and our own shutting the door entirely on the the not. he has offered to keep the door open if the l.n. establishes a certain condition such as bringing all kidnapping victims and seething their criminal activities related to terrorist attacks trafficking excedrin but these are conditions that he had laid out at the very beginning of his government and it's difficult to envision the l.n. actually complying all right let's bring in christiane into the conversation christian in boston. in the last two decades you were recently in colombia in the last two decades has never been capable or shown much interest in carrying out high profile acts of violence what does this attack if they are indeed behind it suggest

about their capabilities and their intentions. well indeed this is surprising in terms of their impact their pack as head however i would echo the words of jorge this tipple that. is not a cohesive group it's a federation with different commanders and i wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't something that had been agreed by the force structure but if it is confirmed that the un is behind it it's probably a faction of the un and i wouldn't be surprised if this is them would trigger severe internal discussions because i'm pretty sure not everybody inside there are going to say sure no agrees with that if it's interesting that you say they're not a cohesive group it was expected that with that they would fill the vacuum left by the fock after the fox signed a peace agreement with the government in twenty sixteen but they haven't done that is that the case. oh yes they have indeed done it but what that the security

situation in colombia after the peace agreement with us which was the main rebel group and was signed a couple of years ago is that you still have a left wing politically motivated army. but since quite a long time ago and colluding with. criminal activity so there is a struggle inside they're going to say should be between those who are still stick to the political line and the other ones who are increasingly having the upper hand because they have more money and more power or more links to my way of living in the criminal activities here interesting are they in now but what i really want to know about the strength of the group today did they absorb the foxy legal economies and territorial control it was again as i say expected that they would fill that gap it would fail that vacuum but what happened in your view they didn't have the capacity to field a vacuum spaces that the far left in order to be able to capture the

reins from criminal activities that. were producing the illegal read the illegal funds. and he's currently in at least five areas in the country they did try to expand to several of those areas but one has to remember that in most areas of regions where the they are facing criminal organizations there are also disputing those illegal rents illegal funds with them then they have not been relatively successful and that is important because it explains two things one that the higher risk that there are no with this terrorist campaign and after the ending of the peace negotiations that was the create by. yesterday it is a higher risk but it is local law. and second that it will be very difficult

through this because they are in bridges which are far away distant very difficult drastically in those areas how very. complicated situation in terms of security not only because of the presence of the u.n. but because of the presence of all the criminal groups these people in those rates with arlene this is very difficult to defeat the this is no doubt president do case first big test how much confidence is there how much confidence do colombians have in his ability to tackle this security threat. i think the levels of confidence are quite low we look at polling his polling tremendously low he does not project authority and many rounds including security and i think it will be remains to be seen if the new military and police leadership is capable of filling this more it in security but what we're seeing are increases in attacks and

killings of social leaders increases in homicide and other manifestations of violence and insecurity in the country so i would say that the objective is quite difficult to comply with right now and colombians of course eileen were deeply polarized over the issue of peace with the sox they were many problems in a stalemate problems in implementing that deal do you think they can be a similar deal with the. the l. and my colleagues have explained it is a completely different organization in negotiations that had taken place with the group had proceeded along a very different track most importantly the and insist that any agreement has to be the result of consultations with civil society which is something that the party could not demanded and this is a very difficult act to conduct and so proceeding and getting them to lay down their arms even is a very difficult challenge that the government now. christian in barcelona or in

spain any ends leda puddle beltran has drawn comparisons between the e l n and the basque separatist group eta we know that petro sanches when he was visiting the region just a few months ago offered spain support to reach some sort of agreement because of spain's experience with can a comparison be drawn between. and can a similar agreement be reached. i don't think so in terms of the nature of the group or there or the design of the peace process spain has not been a major player and the peace process in colombia or as when the world over the past ten fifteen years i would say unlike before when they had been very active in central america and one of the reasons is because of the hardline policy in spain against their. group essentially the message was we don't talk to terrorists now and most armed groups around the world are listed as terrorist organizations and

therefore it's a public policies we don't think it was terrorist and it's very difficult for spain to play any role now where i do see and very interesting analogy is simply knowing . that armed conflict in the basque country did not terminate through on a peace agreement or peace negotiations what happened is that door at that the armed group put them. in at the airport in madrid that has set a huge impact on society and said that such a harsh reaction not only from society at large but even from their own constituency that it became the last act. because it clearly saw there was no future and continuing with a violent struggle i don't want to make wishful thinking but i do think that it's confirmed that this was behind this attack. would invasion that's the end of their political future and in any case of course that doesn't mean it's the end of their going to zation there needs to be some sort of transition but unlikely through

formal negotiations with the government and possibly there will have to be a new when news of the conversations to pave the way for that the l.n. to disband and that is something that happened in the basque country under the leadership of civil society so we'll see if that is said track that will follow in abol the tap your thoughts on this sad. you know christian says this could mark the end of the end as a political organisation do you agree with that and also i'm curious about the regional implications. in venezuela they have some support that what implications regionally i mean i do believe that they will use these on the contrary kristie and i do believe that they are going to use these the end of these negotiations to reinvent itself and sadly it's strongest all the factions which is the eastern bloc which is actually close to

a border with venezuela is going to use. the reste of the eleven. in order to transform itself in a much more radical organisation that will base their armed violence in terrorist attacks i envision an increase in urban guerrilla guerrilla warfare but basically not or guerrilla warfare most likely arbonne terrorist attacks and also an increase against the economic infrastructure in particular against oil pipelines this is a sudden moment in colombian history because what we are see is that there is somehow a consensus in colombian society that we need to close the door to end the conflict with a yell and through. and that's what the news really bad news but also the development of rural areas the poverty and inequality in some parts of colombia has

been fertile fertile ground for these rebel groups for the fox for the l.n. has that been addressed a piece of the twenty sixteen piece didn't address that does this new president have a plan to address that issue i mean let me put it this way colombia has been seen i mean credible transformation for the good. in terms of reducing poverty in terms of reducing inequality and providing public services but is not sufficient enough to finish all these good conditions for insurgency still levels of the are incredibly high and we are still seeing what. a moment ago which is very high levels of what i call political violence against human rights as a friend or social leaders those that are seeking the restitution of their lands that have taken away violence we are still very tribal society

a very conflicted society and sadly also feeds the insurgency of the yeah arlene your thoughts on this what policies has to do a government put in place to address the economic inequalities the social inequalities in some of colombia's neglected areas and are they convincing enough i would say that he hasn't implemented many policies and perhaps in his defense juan manuel santos was also not tremendously successful the previous government in addressing in particular inequality which has not improved. in years to be one of the most equal unequal countries in the world and one of the most unequal in america i think the greatest challenge they do get faces which is actually a historical challenge that colombia has faced for ever how to consolidate the data in a country in which regions are very important and which and which in enhancing of the present providing services addressing poverty inequality lack of social services is

something that no one has actually been successful in achieving. let me hear from you in barcelona question even duke a promise to of course modify the twenty sixteen peace deal with the fark where does this attack leave that deal and what now for peace in colombia. well as i was saying earlier on. taking office he was moderating is discourse and i think realizing that far to the greenman with far is there to stay and therefore adjusting their initial position to that agreement to probably continue the peace process and implementation of the peace agreement i think that is still very relevant the big risk now is that in a polarized society there is a call that will be a call for increased military zation and harsh pression against anything that may

be linked to the u.n. now it is important to consider as has been said as well there is already serious and human rights violations or attacks against human rights defenders and then an increased military is ation of society may lead to also increase violence against people who may be tagged or labelled as the sympathizers of that un but have no link at all and that is actually a very serious risk so i what i would hope is it duke is able to play both the role said that the carrot and the stick were not the carrot in the stick starting that put it this way. that hard line against against an any military attack or terrorist attacks but the same time changes in public policy and increased protection for social leaders because that at the end is also our way of taking the political discourse from the un away if it's if he's able to provide for the the record

society at large and not only for the elite jorge in bogota give you the last word what now for peace in colombia and what implications also regionally asked you about venezuela area and also cuba that the president is asking cuba to arrest a u.n. commanders who are there for peace for peace talks what implications regionally and also inside colombia of course. well very serious in terms of those regional implications i think this was a slap in the face to the cuban government has been quite supportive of the colombian initiatives to achieve peace through a negotiation it was i will say i'm not an expert in international relations but it was quite a shambles in the way the government of colombia conducted the communication and the dealing newbies with the cuban government has been tremendously wrong and cumbersome but apart from that i will say that the colombian implementation of

peace the peace building component will be very difficult especially because of the government although complains with. the part of the implementation in terms of reintegration provided the for the funds regional development it is against this agreement will push that far. strongly in order to comply to their requirements in terms of transitional justice we will have difficult times in terms of peace implementation but i still have faith in that these agreement will support those attacks in india by they will remain itself as well and we will see the days agreement will sustain the future it will be a sustainable agreement in my view uncertain times ahead for colombia thank you very much for a very interesting discussion jorge with a question hairballs and arlene taken i thank you and thank you as well for
