Colombian President Gustavo Petro blamed armed groups in the country for the
00:04
escalation of violence in Catatumbo. The president affirmed that the offensive of
00:08
the armed groups has caused the death of dozens of civilians including minors for
00:13
the control of illicit plants grown in Catatumbo. Petro informed that his
00:18
government earmarked an additional 500 million dollars for the region's security,
00:23
social services, roads and the substitution of coca crops. He also reiterated his
00:28
administration's commitment to transform the Catatumbo region ravaged
00:31
by decades of violence, with concrete actions focused on the urgent needs of
00:35
the population to live in peace.
00:49
The guns are back in Catatumbo. Different actors but basically two. The 33rd front
00:57
of the FARC that says they are dissidents today and the ELN that has
01:01
two versions. The ELN that has been in Catatumbo for a long time, for decades,
01:07
and the ELN that arrived unexpectedly. The ELN that arrived unexpectedly is the
01:14
cause of the commotion. No one expected it. We knew there was a
01:20
conflict and the national government and this has to be clearly recorded in the
01:26
history of the Catatumbo had a negotiating table with the 33rd front
01:30
and a negotiating table with the ELN. It is not that we turned our back to peace
01:36
process or that I suddenly put on a military uniform and took a rifle like
01:43
when I was a young man. We were discussing peace.
