All that sometime demand the freedom of Ingrid we are celebrating. It matters little if the product of a delusion that the Colombian army did to the FARC, or if custodians former hostages were bribed. The important thing is that Ingrid Betancourt is free.
The one that was long the symbol of kidnapping in Colombia now has the opportunity to tell his people and the world not only humiliating experiences of her captivity, but also the reasons why the FARC still determined to pursue its guerrilla campaign. Because in fact, during these seven years of kidnapping, must have had long conversations and perhaps controversial discussions with the leaders of this organization.
course this is an assumption. It may be that there has been no single verbal encounter with the bosses and even with the other guerrillas. But I'm sure any of them, the militants of the FARC-they were escaping the fact that she was running for president of Colombia. And, therefore, had much to say about the sociopolitical and cultural conditions found in that country.
In Peru, where the MRTA abducted more than a hundred officials and diplomats at the Japanese Embassy, \u200b\u200bduring the hundred-plus days of captivity, many of these hostages held long talks with the captors and even with the same Nestor Cerpa. It is many stories, and more than a book in which he realizes why the "seizure of the embassy" and long-term project for the guerrilla struggle in this group.
If the future president of Colombia, as some Colombians are demanding, was encouraged to reveal the salient lines of these dialogues, could perhaps be better understood and mediate the immediate objectives of this subversive organization and perhaps accelerate in the near future, a possible agreement to allow the release of all hostages.
Peace Colombia both claim is possible, but must be built from the ground up with the actors involved in this race. Perhaps for this the first step would be the release of other hostages. And if without firing a single shot, as has been done in this military operation would be no detriment to the FARC but quite the opposite. I hope so.
