Colombia Colombian guerrillas claim more than 30 lives in a bloody start to the year
Colombia FARC dissidents assassinate 'El Paisa', one of their most bloodthirsty commanders
On Friday morning they broadcast a video with alias
Gabino
, their historic leader,
commemorating with a song the first attack by his
terrorist gang
, which occurred more than half a century ago. And at night, they set off an explosive as an ESMAD (riot police) truck passed by in Cali, wounding 13 soldiers.
Both proofs that the ELN continues on the path of terror
that has characterized what was the second largest guerrilla in Colombia and now disputes the first place to the two dissidents of the former FARC.
"The ELN, consistent with what we think,
will always be at the side of the people, supporting their struggles
and sharing their feelings of anger and pain, today more than ever the revolutionary armed struggle is in force," said the statement issued on Saturday, taking responsibility for the The bombing that caused two serious injuries and 11 minor injuries, among a group of riot police who were traveling in a pickup truck.
The criminal act took place near Puerto Rellena, renamed "Puerto Resistencia" by the protesters who paralyzed Cali for 120 days last year,
as part of the national strike promoted by left-wing parties
and social movements. According to the Attorney General's Office, the ELN also had a very active participation in some parts of the capital of the Valle del Cauca department during those days, some very violent. And the aforementioned place was one of them.
"We report that at 9:55 p.m. on January 7, our units carried out an action against the Police ESMAD, in Carrera 46 with Calle 25 in the city of Cali, in the Puerto Resistencia sector, with the result out
of 13 Police officers wounded.
Our forces withdrew without incident
, "the band's statement concluded.
Relief
Of the victims, two remain hospitalized with serious injuries, while the rest of the members of the Mobile Anti-Riot Squad suffered minor damages. All were part of a contingent
that was going to take over from their comrades since they have never been able to completely leave that area of Cali
since, despite the fact that they lifted the national strike, a group of protesters has always remained in Puerto Rellena. Precisely two of its spokesmen, on the same Friday night, minutes after the attack, sent a message through social networks strongly rejecting it and advocating for dialogue and peace.
A message opposite to the one that Nicolás Rodríguez Bautista, alias Gabino, had sent hours before, who was head of the ELN for several decades until he announced in 2021 that he was retiring. In a recording studio, wearing headphones and before a microphone,
he appeared performing a song alluding to his first bloody attack
on a town, on January 7, 1965.
"After five months of hiding and training, it was necessary to announce to Colombia and the world that a guerrilla force was emerging,"
says the terrorist before beginning to sing
.
And the announcement was made in the way they have been acting since then, assaulting Simacota, a town nestled in the Serranía de los Cobardes, northeast of Colombia.
And,
with absolute contempt for the three policemen and two soldiers who murdered that day
and the suffering they have been causing for decades in Colombia, he closes his performance with a laugh.
Everything indicates that
Gabino
is taking refuge in Cuba, although he could also be in Venezuela,
protected by Nicolás Maduro
.
