After treaties, peace can be achieved
Colombia is a country that for many years has been touched by violence, the most recent theme with respect to violence are the FARC’s peace treaties, but do these treaties really show us a true peace?
The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) have great historical importance in the country; They began their actions around 1953, the group was created by Pedro Antonio Marín aka As an armed conflict, which has been a social problem that has spread for almost five decades, where the main affected have been the civilian population; Those who have been forced to displacement, integration into guerrilla forces, kidnapping and have been involved in massacres throughout the Colombian territory.
Thanks to all these actions in which agents of the revolutionary forces of Colombia were involved and in order to have a better country, calm and safe for its inhabitants, the Colombian government began to make the respective negotiations with the leaders mentioned above. armed to cease fire. The former president Juan Manuel Santos was the one who sought to achieve an agreement through a dialogue for the peace of the country, where there are key principles and points for it to succeed and the negotiation is carried out in the best way.
I know you should know that five important points will be discussed at the negotiation tables which have been considered necessary and fundamental for solution of the conflict. The first topic to be treated has been the Agrarian, where one of the desires and expected achievement is to rescue terrazos, improve agriculture, create entrepreneurs with people from the countryside and with this improve their productive situation and economy of the country; Secondly, there are the guarantees for the exercise of political opposition and citizen participation: ‘that those who disagree and protest do so without fear, and that the bond between politics and weapons is broken forever”; As the third point is the end of the armed conflict, which includes leaving weapons and the reintegration of the FARC to civil life; In the fourth point is very important, such as drug trafficking that has done so much and makes our country. If this process contributes to more effective this illicit business, that would only be a great advance and as fifth and the last the rights to the victims, where the FARC would have to give their face and tell the truth sovereive , because they are in every right to inform themselves being this needing and deserved in turn.
The end of the armed conflict between the Government of Colombia and the FARC, agreed in Havana, worked well in the terms that were agreed. Indeed, in the course of the last two years, the demobilization of the armed troops of that ex-Guerrilla, its concentration in several veiled areas, the abandonment of their weapons, the process of the benefits in terms of freedom and mobility , conversion into a political party and the difficult beginning of his reintegration into civil life.
It can be said that by the FARC the agreements agreed if they were fulfilled, for example: “In total 6 were concentrated.800 guerrillas and delivered, in the abandonment of weapons of the individual endowment, 7.132 weapons, that is, more weapons than guerrillas, something atypical in any peace process. Even with the extraction made by the United Nations of the 949 coves, a historical figure of 1 could be reached.5 weapons, on average, by guerrilla.”As the Week magazine tells us, with this data we can easily realize that by the FARC if there was an intention to leave the conflict behind.
And, although in the process itself there were obstacles that had to be foreseen and avoided, such as the equipment of the village areas, the processing of individual amnesties, the liberation of former guerrillas imprisoned in prisons (as of March 2018 remained 600 of them in prison in prison ) and the difficulty in specifying productive projects to guarantee the subsistence of the mobilized, in the end the purpose of deactivating armed violence was achieved.
However, the great mole of this first stage of La Paz was and remains the murder of social leaders. Between January 1, 2016 and May 20, 2019 (2 years, 4 months and 19 days), 837 social leaders and human rights defenders of FARC were killed throughout Colombia. This was announced by the Institute for Studies for Development and Peace (Indepaz), in one of its reports.
