4:22 pm
hello everyone i'm come on santa maria welcome to inside story we're talking colombia today which for the past 3 years has looked to be on the path to peace after more than 50 years of war with the phunk leftist rebels but that peace is now under threat from one of the same men who agreed to it let's rewind to 2016 the signing ceremony where the fuck the revolutionary armed forces of colombia agreed to lay down their arms and i historic deal with the government colombia's president at the time was one manuel santos the whole thing even earned him a nobel peace prize while the fox lead negotiator even marquez promised colombians a new era of hope but now just 3 years later he is urging fatah members to pick up their weapons again saying the government has betrayed the deal. well and when we signed the agreement of havana we did it with the conviction that it was
4:23 pm
possible to change the lives of the humble and the dispossessed but the state has not fulfilled even the most important of the obligations there is to guarantee the life of its citizens and particularly to prevent the a murder for political reasons all of this this trick this betrayal this perfidy the unilateral modification of the text of the accord the unfulfilled commitments on the part of the state the judicial sit ups and insecurity have obliged us to return to the mountains. colombia's current president meanwhile has announced a special army unit to find and arrest the phone rebels soldiers killed 9 members in one raid on friday. i authorized the joint command of special operations to carry out an offensive operation against this gang of narco terrorist criminals who are residuals of what was known as the fuck who are part of the criminal structures
4:24 pm
and now seek to challenge colombia while last night thanks to meticulous and strategic work god could choose a leader of that organization was killed. so that was even to a k. yvonne marquez who you saw a moment ago was a cane negotiator in the peace agreement which was signed almost 3 years ago around 13000 members demobilize that included around 7000 soldiers who laid down their arms as part of the deal they were promised help reintegrating back into civilian society frank was also turned into a political party it was assigned 10 seats in colombia's congress but hundreds of social leaders human rights activists and former fark members have been killed in the past 3 years and some analysts say the fire has also fallen short on its commitment to justice the leadership's been accused of continuing to traffic drugs and failing to provide their victims with reparations.
4:25 pm
so here is today's panel all joining us from bogota the capital of colombia on skype we have got sergio who is the director of columbia risk analysis we have jorge at risk report the director of the conflict analysis resource center and also on skype daniel got to see opinion who is the professor of political science at the national university and a former high commissioner for peace of colombia gentlemen welcome to all 3 of you i am conscious that the story of the rebels and the peace deal is not something all of our viewers are going to be completely up to speed on so i just want to spend a few minutes with you sort of explaining a bit more about some of the main players and what's happened in the last 3 years sergio i'll start with you tell me about even marquez tell our viewers about evo marquez and particularly right now how strong is his voice how influential is he does he have people numbers on his side. thank you and
4:26 pm
thank you for inviting me good morning to jorge and money and it's a pleasure to be here to begin you not this is a person that has a very long political background he used to be a member of the house of representatives under the new but to pick up party back in the day in the 1990 s. before he returned to conflict with the fark. in the late 1990 s. he participated in the negotiations in and got one and then was the lead negotiator of the negotiations you know on a so this man is a person who has a very long standing political background and is well versed both in letters but also in fighting he's believed to be very close with venezuelan president nicolas mughal as well if you look at the video and if you look at the numbers the
4:27 pm
video we had 2 things to say 1st it was an aspirational video it demonstrated that the far it wants to reach out to other members of society particularly their former fighters this broke the old members of civil society getting in rural areas who feel that they haven't been dealt the right cards under the peace agreement for instance with last reparations or with a change in the drug policy except for so he's casting a wide net more importantly he also reaches out to the young men but this is an important point his video doesn't suggest that he has an alliance with the 11 or he has important support from these members he's not demonstrating it if the video is a show of strength in terms of military might having 30 people armed to the teeth in particular about. son preach isn't going to be very scary although in the
4:28 pm
video there's individuals like and yes and by some who belong to very fearful and they'll be looking for you don't call him which was responsible for a lot of terrorist attacks and i'm very intrusive but it doesn't it doesn't demonstrate capacity in and of itself ok thank you for all of that let's go to jorge now jorge. marquez said in that video said a lot of things but one of the things he said. the patrol from the government has obliged us to return to the mountains what exactly does that mean. well i mean 1st thank you very much for having us hello to said he'll and then we'll i reckon that. it's basically trying to. instill fear in the colombian population but this is a thread that still has not materialized and all he's discours it's basically
4:29 pm
a very well stage composition in order to. resend himself as a leader of an emerging guerrilla but one has to be really careful in assessing these is a correct i do believe that there is a higher risk but nevertheless what they are trying to accomplish with these is basically to avoid persecution by justice authorities for transitional justice here in colombia but also from the justice of the united states. it's accusing one of them. and maybe himself even magic is forward market trafficking international narco trafficking. crimes then basically i reckon one has to be very very careful in not overstating the level of threat that these group poses to the colombian society and economy ok and daniel let's bring you into the
4:30 pm
conversation as well i wonder if you can tell us about the other event even decay who is now the colombian leader he did not sign the payscale obviously that was his predecessor but can you again explain to us what his position on the deal has been because now he is speaking with a very strong tone and saying we're going after the fuck. well yes 1st of all thank you and also on a similar to what they then sent him no doubt even though he was elected president by a coalition that chained together to oppose the peace process the number that a back in 2016 had a referendum in the country and a coalition that the no and label to win their vote was precisely the same color that he left did you but do get says assuming the presidency he has modified that the discourse that he had during the campaign of doing away with the dream of the nist has at
4:31 pm
a. one on one hand has been committed to fulfilling the agreement as far as the real peroration of the fort rebels but as far as the broader aspects of the agreement the issues it will have reform issues of of the drug trade and political reform there has been no movement whatsoever and on the contrary to earlier this year. a president who gets right to veto parts of the transitional justice. system the people who abuse that was overturned by the overridden by the congress but nevertheless there is this is clear that the government does not have. the commitment to the process and on the contrary many of the actions of the party government simply have gone against the jaish so this act on the part of you are marked as it is moot. it will strengthen the discourse of the government in their their military action against against these new fort rebels
4:32 pm
will no doubt increase the tension within the country and also. it is the the the if this. gentleman will suck at some of the reasoning that now that we've sort of laid out some of the background out there that the reason. marquez says the government has betrayed the deal the government would say of the how you've continued to traffic drugs you've continued to to betray the deal as well is it one of these i'm going to go to her because you're busy a you're shaking your head there tell me why. i mean because one can say the government too if you want to look it has betrayed the agreement or has repudiated the agreement not in the in the 3rd nor in its part although you know implementation it's quite complex institutionally organization and financially economically it is rather. huge task one has to
4:33 pm
say and that will take at least 50 years in terms of the implementation although there has been attempts by the government party which is a minority party in congress to take a part by pieces specially the jurisdiction for the transitional justice system that has done yet wreford one cannot say that there is. a concerted effort to be able to tear apart or to read to be a the agreement and this is very important that does not justify the rearming of these group of ex fark leaders one has to be very careful again with that in terms of not create a new discourse for that used. to violence here in colonial that's why i shake my surgery let me come back to you then maybe it's just maybe like to comment on what jorge said but maybe it's also just that you know after so many years of war
4:34 pm
there's just an inherent distrust between both sides and that they're not going to say ita and they don't come to believe the other side can can can stay true to the deal. look i'll say this the blame on returning to war lies so he on the fark in their decision to rearm i think said that i disagree with what jorge saying in the sense that i do think that the government has been lukewarm in its support of the entirety of the peace agreement the government is very supportive of the disarmament it will be satiated and we were gratian component of the agreement but is much less enthusiastic about the chapter on land reform the chapter on the trade of legal drugs the political participation of 4 members as well as the justice component which was
4:35 pm
mentioned earlier i think that both sides have some legitimate claim to attest that the counter party is not making the tool for the compliance with the peace agreement but it would be far fetched to say that they'd both share an equal amount of blame i think that in their decision to rearm before it is definitely. taking a heavy stance but they're also condemning themselves and they're they're putting it at risk a lot of the former combatants who are still incorporating the process who are participating in politics and who are campaigning for the local elections which are taking place on october 27th couple who put the kid in the social hop and in cologne get this in they jerusalem all daniel your thoughts is it going to i mean you're coming from a position as well as
4:36 pm
a former high commissioner for pace and columbia i'm guessing and correct me if i'm wrong but i'm guessing you would place more blame on the phone care in the way that such a house. well i afraid i think it's very important to be very very careful and i don't think when you talk about a fart or even mike as the leader of the fort the forgiveness of forgive this is a splinter group he represents a piece is small faction of the for the vast majority of art is is with the peace process close more than 90 percent of the fighters are committed to the peace process the leader of the 14 will change who has come out very very clearly in favor of supporting the process so i think is a very. i would be very careful to allow of moderate is to monopolize the the the the name of florida the forward this was a peace process it's a splinter group relatively small group part of the group that has decided to rearm
4:37 pm
but i think it is it is vital to for everybody to understand that the best majority for it and the for leadership. was exceptional of what it was the seventy's and others but the vast majority of them are committed to the to the process and are a few minutes to. the to continue in the political process of the democratic process so i think that that that is that this is not me that this is not a poor blow to the process there's no doubt that politically speaking the message that he by monitors is giving is going to definitely hurt the the process but i think would be. not correct to to. give the give the this the the right to speak in in of the fort they are trying to live the farther you are trying to somehow. rekindle the love is that led to the to the rise of for the 50 years ago but i think that today the traditions of the country the the vast majority not only of the fart members of the
4:38 pm
colombian society reject the armed struggle and in hope that the the the. majority of the fort members will continue with the peace process or how you are edging to get in there go ahead. yes if i may i want to reinforce that point in the following way this is not that we're going back to conflict this is not them mergence of a new guerilla group what is happening here is that there is a very small group of commanders a minority the most radical of them those that feared the most from prosecution either from transitional justice here in colombia or from the international justice in the united states for not prosecuting crimes and what they're trying to put forward is a discours to try to instill fear in the colombian society while they. try
4:39 pm
to organize these escape from justice and something which is very important is that they are doing these from venezuela from the border from an asylum maybe because that is their hideaway there that is the way that they can organize these this crime but we are not going back to conflict we are nort seen the emergence of a new guerrilla group we said here mentioned we are not seeing these alliance with the lame. in itself we are not seen yet violence and we have to be aware of the reasons but not throw away the baby with the bath you know it's more than 95 percent of x. combatants and i would say the entirety of the leaders but for these one full of leaders of the fark are committed with peace and do trust that the colombian
4:40 pm
society has put on these peace process i will say rather slowly it. this that we are not the of peace is not threatened by the margins of these groups have been so in that case i'll put this to all 3 of you if i may come all just just quickly senator he there's a nomenclature issue because the name far when our group made the peace deal with the government big they started a political party and they could have named political party whatever it is that they wanted to name it and there was a discussion internally and then they decided to name the park and that even marcus is starting to splinter groups like then you pointed out they chose to go with exactly the same name so that there is a lot of room for confusion here and i think that that we do have the responsibility to distinction to make the distinction between or maybe this still leads to the point i was going to make rather than all of this being about the risk
4:41 pm
of returning to war let's flip it on its head and say that there's an opportunity here if even duke i ran on the idea of renegotiating the deal is this actually a chance to do that to renegotiate it to firm up what you were just saying jorge the fact that the a lot of people still support the steel and it should all just fall apart because of one man daniel i'll start with you what is the it is there a is there an opportunity here. i think it's not an opportunity that's a really good shit but it probably holds was agreed upon the agreement establishes only as the of i have to do with the real reason and i think you know even with the other members of the panel that if i brought the government president has committed to going forward with that report which will just give the green on that but i voted it really is not only about me corporation the agreement included a very important aspect of of lab reform this is the conflict that has to do with
4:42 pm
you as a user. of dispossession of land and rights for the peasants that issue has been this completely ignored by the government issues that have to do with drug trade with political reform so i think there's an opportunity for the government to understand that the best way to move forward is to implement and to actually look not only for the fork of the that or any time look at the agreement as an agreement that this is his favorite fork or reported favorite part of the agreement it has many things that are in favor of columbus's and specially the presence in the countryside and that is where i think the government has to act more more. clearly and theater of the of implementing the green and i think that would be the best way not only to for the club be a state to fulfill was to move this but also to give take away all these arguments
4:43 pm
