Colombia FARC dissidents assassinate 'El Paisa', one of their bloodiest commanders
Direct Witness A town imprisoned by the threat of the guerrilla in Colombia: "The only objective is to get out alive"
The Indigenous Guard reported this Tuesday that they managed to arrest two members of the FARC, who could be implicated in the murder of
Breiner David Cucuñame,
the 14-year-old adolescent who belonged to the juvenile body in charge of protecting his community in the territories they call sacred and ancient
The special indigenous jurisdiction will determine the degree of participation in a crime that has shocked Colombia and, above all, environmentalists.
The events occurred last Friday in the Las Delicias indigenous reservation, in the municipality of Buenos Aires, in the north of the department of Cauca.
Residents of the area alerted the Guard to the presence of
a dozen armed men,
belonging to the Jaime Martínez column of the FARC-EP, and when they went to the area they were greeted with rifle shots and explosives, according to witnesses.
Breiner David was not part of the group they highlighted, but
was returning home with his father after the workday.
Although they transferred him to the hospital in Santander de Quilichao, the closest large town, they could do nothing to save him.
A guard who answered the call, Guillermo Chicame, also died in the attack, and
four others were injured.
"We kept going, we divided into various groups, until we met Samuel Cucuñame and his son, who had come from work, from construction.
They told us that the armed group was ahead of us and that we should be careful because they are heavily armed,"
he told him .
one of the guards who came out unharmed told the local newspaper 'El Tiempo'.
"Ten minutes later they hit us with bullets. We had to throw ourselves off a rock, we rolled. From then on we heard the noise of a bomb."
And a neighbor reported that
"the armed men fired bullets at anything that moved, at anything that fell, they did not take into account that there were roads, that there were personnel and that there were children.
And unfortunately a 14-year-old boy fell."
It is not the first time that the bloodthirsty "Jaime Martínez", dominant in Buenos Aires, assassinates indigenous guards who try to prevent her domination of the region.
But in a statement, the criminals
justified the massacre with the fallacy that it was "a confrontation with the members of a new armed group
that emerged with the approval of the indigenous authorities."
