noted. that it. was. a bit of. a look at. the way that. colombia has been embroiled in a deadly armed conflict between leftist rebels and right wing paramilitary groups for decades despite a series of peace agreements most recently with the leftwing far. some are fighting for a more equal land a distribution others seek to prevent this. hundreds of thousands have been killed hundreds of thousands are among the disappeared millions forced from their homes. it is a conflict in which the lines between good and evil have long since been dissolved

despite the current peace treaty with the far for evolutionary step the fighting goes on. we've come to northern colombia one of the most signings plagued parts of the country we hope to find out more about the roots of the conflict here and why it continues. ordinary farmers including knees florence and her family has been caught between the families they were falsely suspected of collaborating with the guerrillas all of the men in the family her father and 3 brothers were murdered on their own land in el prado only the remains of the youngest son have ever been found.

grandmother come here darling definitely it may not come on don't be scared this is your uncle you know i don't know what he'll make out of it ok what they're going to be. mad at me. but that on her face. hello uncle tad bit me again but it. is little fluffy and. that the who does he look like that and he looks like all of us money to get that.

same woman one that i think we found our brother he had been shot in the head getting enough police on one dot com i found him his hands and feet had been tied. in my little brother who was just 16 years old he was just a child. we found him. and dug in on top of the others are still missing. it happened on may 19th that he is here $2000.00. i remember that this armed group came i was at a neighbor's but in the one i seen they went into our home me and tied everyone to look they tied my brothers and my father up. they kicked and hit them in the minor on my leg they locked my mother and sisters in a room as they loved yes they took my father and my brothers tied up with them.

later we were told they didn't need to kill my father in law and then you'll get mad when he saw his. own son killed before his eyes he had a heart attack but. it was the last we heard of them and we had to leave everything behind when we left our lands behind them and said good bye you know we never went back to the lead. there are days where i can't sleep i wake up crying in the middle of the night. you want to be just i had so many nightmares you know. my mother went crazy sick and all that and they needed to restrain her because she wanted to throw herself in front of a car. i was unable to let go of the hate that i had back then i couldn't

help but i felt such rage i wanted to find the killers so that i could kill down. 10 years ago on a scrub growth tropical played in colombia the feasibility studies for a new coal mine looked promising. 5 years ago the 1st coal came out of the ground. it's been mined in for more than 25 years. multinational companies such as drummond and protocol extract the coal and sell it worldwide to the u.s. china and europe including germany.

in recent years the companies have faced accusations that they have collaborated with paramilitary groups. is a new c.b.s. news that more testimony today in the murder for hire trial of alabama bass drum a cold one karl is going to tear out former drum an employee says he saw paramilitary vehicles on in here drummond property back in 2001 and tara claims he saw several of troubles colombian executives meet with a known paramilitary commander. in colombia the paramilitary money where the sea doesn't matter was also known as and some of your costs are going to court. drummond union organizer. in one of the connections between the a u.c. power a monetary in the north. and drummond company function. mr

prosecutor i don't want to be rude but as i've said before if my own see your question i'll be putting my safety and the safety of my family at risk. students mottos known by the alias as some are you was one of the most senior paramilitary commanders in northern colombia he was released from prison 2 years ago this is the 1st time he has returned to the place where he committed his crimes .

wonderful what is he now an update on or when you kill a person you remember that for the rest of your life. and in our case in my case i mean so many people died at my hands but i like a lot of people. we're not talking 12 or 3 we're talking about maybe 200 people. or what a lot of the really what about all of those a terrible memories how these people died or even more died on my orders not just by my own hand but at the hands of my comrades. as well as a lot of. people who were tortured who were burned alive here you know people whose fingernails we pulled out people who were hacked to pieces. people who begged for their life. we came to places like these and killed people it's just because someone told us they were the enemy we're glad we did it all. the most

horrible things you can imagine that it's a strange contrast before i was the boss i was ill some audio in here the man who the local people fear the most at the way that the across the entire region here in all the district. today i've returned as our citizen the which is my real name you could nominate people don't remember me because many new young people are now here . things have changed a lot here. it's if there was one hour this was a disputed region and they brought me here because of my battle experience and they sent me here with a list. it was around 200 people had to be killed and they handed me the list and the commandant said kill all the people on this list. because they were all guerrillas or had ties to them the enemy was on that he had.

the whole machine we started killing people committing a murder across the entire district and he'd be needing in the morning at midday. it was a kind of death squad. ensuring that time i stayed and slept at the police station and with the military there and that's where they put me by even stayed overnight at the mayor's house in the district afghans our eventually we liberated the zone and had enough financing by had troops in the mountains in the villages and the city. like there was no one left to kill. at one point in the war there was no one left for us to fight and when we were given a quota for murders we needed to prove 6 killings a month where they came from who they were didn't matter but we had to prove it in

the game the day that we asked ourselves who do we kill there's no one left to kill or you came about later for more on this or that led to chaos it didn't matter who we came across and a hiker or someone from outside the district and we capture and kill them and claim they were a guerrilla. we found a drifter. what do we do with him will he give us the quota for the month so we killed him and. counted him and the most important thing was to prove the 6 deaths of innocent that's when the conflict spiraled out of control i don't know what the generals were thinking but they gave this quote. the where case of the prado landowners was sad and terrible and ugly but how they

kidnapped and murdered the people that. it's about a 2 hour walk from el prado to the file the finca you know they tied them up in what brought them and then locked them in account shared. soldiers from the military were with us. and then we began to torture the people we beat them up we asked them about the guerrillas. they said they had nothing to do with them then. there was a boy around 1617 years old we beat him tortured him and asked him about the guerrillas we'd received orders to remove everyone from those old prado properties to empty the land of its people and to kill anyone we had to to do so. i remember my general took out a revolver and shot the 1st one in the head he killed the youngest the boy he shot him in the head he fell and the others began to weep. they kept saying they knew nothing about it then he told me to shoot another to see if that would make them

talk i drew my pistol it was a vulture p 99 and shot another one in the head. he also failed the other 3 wept. camps torturing them but they said nothing more so the decision was made to kill them. told him i don't know the general killed another one right there i mean . one of the last ones left was the father he was still alive when he was laid on to the tractor right next to the dead and then he was also short and. we had them all on the tractor then i ordered my men to bury the dead. i.

know. what was strange about the situation is that after the massacre and the expulsions all the land went to the families of paramilitary generals and commanders and. they suddenly appeared to be the right a lot of it is of the land. but if you just need to look at how the coal companies were expanding in the region ending up with me he added they will. see the way that's exactly when the expulsions and massacres began. to that the land was taken over by those companies i mean they will go. yeah. we didn't work directly with the coal companies we didn't receive a company id or a salary but they were alliances agreements agreements to finance the

paramilitaries the war was expensive. these coal companies financed the paramilitaries of course officially we fought against the guerrilla uprisings but ultimately we worked for the coal companies and see if we can see this is. that they didn't give us the weapons but the money. protocol. all of them paid. in 2005 the colombian parliament passed a law in doubt establishing peace and demobilizing the paramilitary groups.

the maximum prison sentence was 18 years burn cardless of the number of murders or the crimes that had been committed the hope was that this would put an end to the violence and help the country begin to heal. for the 1st time since the day of the massacre. her sister and her mother donna you marco are returning to their property. this is where it all began in. a moment the land is lost the pro they call mines have the land no longer belongs to us we never came back here it is. all mine no mother we're not there yet after all this time to get it out we have to be patient it's up ahead. here it is here. yes here it is.

lived here my god. do you remember. of course mama. thank you did people live here after us yes of course in who. don't know if that was the house and they look at it now there's no house at all. so i mean really i don't need to if they had told me before that i had to go if they'd given me 4 hours i'd have been gone in one but why massacre nearly my entire family. here look the red floor i mean that what is that and here's where our brother start. he always liked sitting here on the wall.

here on this wall the only. line of the mine used to this as a dump. over there is the mine. everything from here to there belongs to the mine what they say that this earth here also has coal. the mines over there. but it's on land owners have markers on their land of monaco the markers say that there's coal on that land and then the a modicum basically get all the we've done some drilling right here too you know this is where the couvade runs. millions of tons of coal are mined in colombia every year multinationals like drummond and. the mineral rights for decades to come both companies explicitly

reject allegations the ever collaborated with the paramilitaries. but that because the 3rd largest producer in colombia as big 3 sarah home drama nonproductive there's no more dumping going to this is all finished. as we're doing any. top so removal over there. about $80000000.00 tons of the cold goes out of colombia each year it's the 4th or 5th largest producer in in the world of export coal and most of the coal goes to europe the u.s. and south america and the process here is to open up the the mine and as you open up the mine then we have to dump external and we create those hills that you've seen over there we rehabilitate and we get the wildlife back in their. product

how in a way would put paramilitaries will benefit from power trade there are those allegations out there but to date there's been no evidence you know many of these paramilitaries might these techniques have also. they found. life in different processes as well. has played some accusations by local land although still by word displaced of that there is a process with the land restoration and we're going to work through that process to find out the truth on our behalf god help. need he sure family and the other former landowners the meal pradhan community are tired of waiting for justice from the courts and tired of empty promises.

that came out. only my father was still in mind. i want to thank. you for what we want to use for you to give us back the land that i could you give us the property titles. to get a little bit of value that. a bad man moment stay come i understand you're upset but it's none of our business but. that's why we haven't done anything yet let us call you a lame duck and have a big economic a puppet government out of gas company ma'am. no we're not the owners of the prado lends credibility to the government. now probably not because much. of the property title belongs to the national authority for rural

development including the like all the other john from via the power rolled out in co down should give the land back to us the land belongs to us not the state was. we as a company have the right to arrest you what i suggest is that you're leaving here then we'll be here to talk to. your. the florists family had to return home with no answers. protocol published the following documents regarding the disputed land in a. group who is not the owner of the prado land and is not interested in owning it fionn or is the colombian virtual development agency including the colombian government has committed proto code to pay the owners 1000000 dollars in compensation protocol has done this but included there did not

transfer the payment to the 1st owners but to the 2nd owners the paramilitary. protocol then launched legal action against including. while nice he she is fighting for the return of her family's land of cetus else to mario meets with the next comrade people he removed to the bodies of the el prado massacre and must know where they are buried. but we want to know whether what he would do you remember how many people we buried here. people here. you know around 100 or more. like us one of these is what we did we came here parks because all the truck while we did our bodies were in the trunk or on the truck. then we dumped them. sometimes it was me sometimes

people. are preferred are i remember an old man that i killed right here. 8 o'clock in the morning they killed him back there. they shot him and dumped him oh we take him out of the car i told the old man to look straight ahead and then i shot him in the head. we left him right there. and all the fish really we didn't belong to the government officially we did we received state orders but we're not from the state the state didn't want anyone to know of very existence not even the military was to blame you know they had to be. near you know they were also given orders. they were told to collaborate and they did. we patrolled together a soldier a paramilitary man a soldier

a paramilitary man. they protected us. he would do you remember the prado case. yes and of course 5 people from the same family. during the conflict we learned to read people. to know who was bad and who wasn't when i saw that family i knew they would be really. good but they had nothing to do with the guerrillas that affected me it's on the mark on the. can we do this together. they say yes we'll go there together to find the remains. i'm willing to do that. we'll go there together and look for the location. and then take it up. if you think do you think in the mud is but i don't know the area because i was

never there and see people beginning to. know i remember the place. been there twice already. in the past members of the colombian military fought alongside paramilitary groups many of those chinese remained. only as our us people stays far away from the area he knows too many secrets about people who are too powerful and former comrades things. in the city of. it's safer here in the countryside. chilling is a lot like the work we do here i wake up at 3 o'clock to milk the cows. i didn't

get a good night's sleep back then either sometimes they call you in the middle of the night and you'd have to kill someone. i remember the case quite well i didn't kill anyone there i helped bury the bodies that. big but i remember that we buried 3 together and we buried 2 others near the tree trunk and. you thought it was my you to your mission i feel guilty because we did harm theme though it wasn't us it was the commanders they give us the orders they're all get on our shoulder. they call you and offer you money. i'll pay you so in so much money to assemble a group of men 'd. but i don't want anything to do with

a warning more i want to live in peace. it's the same leaders as before. they think that if they make you a good offer you'll be willing to start up again. your body they want to run on the . level. that all the other threads that i know as much you're. going to be my. number you get out of. there you're going to. when i do pollute you are going to run out of problems with my hair and. that i. when i look back and i regret everything i did more you feel. there's

a saying the only one who can forgive us is god your. buts hope god will forgive us born and the victims can also forgive us with all their hard core of song. again. some are your bricks of contact with us we're unable to reach him and are not given a reason. during the last days of filming one of his representatives calls us out of the blue and makes us an answer. it's simple to continue filming we need to come to my financial agreement. do you understand he says you need to come to a financial agreement with them all because. he proposes the following some. $20000000.00 pesos so roughly a good annual salary they are going to continue with

a project we don't pay him and there are even rumors that elsom mario has rejoined a paramilitary group instead we continue our search for the remains of the florence family with his former comrade ellie is our yes and. it's. nice and her sisters are meeting lp to us for the 1st time the man who took part in the abduction and murder of their family. i don't. know but we awarded are poor and by me. and i'm. sure i'm going ahead. tell him to wait. really where you are mother why were they brought so far away. with it or you should talk to the commandant. where they were brought here no they were already

dead. they were killed on the farm and. brought the digger to help with the excavation. only my love for general killed an older man and a boy behind the couch she had them up i don't know if i go to the little one was killed 1st with a 38 revolver. below my little brother yes the little one. and you were there yes i was there. but 'd i go to another building the little one was killed on the 1st so that the others will talk . more but they didn't want to talk. to someone else until the older man told us in my family do you know. your father for good simply you were yes because he had a heart attack and fell down because he begin to become what someone said he was dead. but someone else said you know i haven't shot him. they told me to

collect the bodies there so what should we do with them should we dump them somewhere you know bury them and get out of. here and it was some audio killed someone from my family i mean i know you are going to look them. lost in thought southam down and shot them both but all of northern filmy didn't hear you 1000000 of them and tied them up. because that's how we found our youngest brother i mean go hmong you know they often killed people that way they were cowards a lot of. ok thanks guys that's what we wanted to know ok. you know. as ordinary soldiers you know more we didn't have the authority to kill on our own or my part of. the local running only in battle and

otherwise not a lot of rules you know by. now that are a very long time in their clothes that we didn't remove anything that you know that would give them that our middle brother is buried here yes you know what. don't you remember what the people you buried looked like that. might skin light hair and when you're in that moment i was also suffering with i mean. more being mentally ill for all from one single family the wife and i for me. you know why they were married nearly 4 meters deep and argue with the me and i thought. here yes because we moved i'm going through all right you have been worth . a little thank you you know thank you for helping us everyone has a family that you did. it hurts. me through my just like.

you. never be able to forget all of this. the next day on the commandant called one more time. you really haven't won anything told that we should kill everyone so that no one who might become an enemy would remain in the world. so kill them all he said and then other. things were going on why don't we just did it's too deep there's no point looking you go because if we are what we can do is get an excavator and god willing the owners will help us look what i wouldn't. because of soil erosion and the original objects of the graves it's impossible to uncover any bodies by hand thank you how did i get there needs to go in that direction i'm done.

playing host. to their i carried right around here you tell need to take your tomorrow in your woman and i can't be here i have to be in court you know you're about but all the former paramilitary members have to be there. to look at it. if i don't show up i think will help put me back in prison on the on a. playing . playing. oh. played
