Under former President Alvaro Uribe (2002-2010), Colombia’s US-backed security forces murdered more civilians than FARC guerrillas have in more than 30 years.

This is the most inconvenient truth Colombia’s electorate will have to accept once a Truth Commission and a Transitional Justice Court take force to seek impartial justice for the country’s 8 million victims.

The mass killing of civilians by the state is particularly inconvenient because Colombians will have to ask themselves how they got to elect and re-elect a president who, as commander-in-chief, ended up politically responsible for more than 40 times the homicides attributed to the country’s #1 terrorist, FARC leader Rodrigo Londoño, a.k.a. “Timochenko,” who is either accused of or convicted for 106 homicides.

This information has been available for years, but has been consistently ignored or distorted in both Colombian and American media.

2. Not surprising at all

This data is for the Colombian military/police alone. When you factor in murders by the paramilitaries such as AUC the right wing death toll soars even higher.

But this data is ignored as it conflicts with the narrative.
