Extractions: Pre-Colombian Goldwork Courtesy of: Museo Del Oro / Bogota, Colombia Colombia , one of Latin Americas riches countries in natural resources is located in the northwest of South America. Washed by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and by the Pacific to the west, like a spinal column, the chain of the Andes Mountains stretches up from the south of the continent forming three fertile branches with countless valleys, plateaus and hillsides inhabited by the majority of the present-day population. The total land area is 1,141,748 sq km (440,831 sq mi). Colombia's varied topography also includes torrid lowlands; selvas (rain forests); and vast plains, or llanos. The principal river, the Magdalena, flows north across practically the entire country. Wildlife includes the larger South American mammals such as jaguars, pumas, and tapirs and monkeys, red deer, snakes, and birds. Colombia lies almost entirely in the Torrid Zone, between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The climate, however, varies with the elevation, with cooler temperatures at higher altitudes. In ancient times this land was occupied by societies governed by chiefs. Gold, the sacred metal, adorned the political leaders and was used as offerings to the gods. In the southwest of Colombia, the cultures which archaeologists call Tumaco, Calima, Malagana, Cauca, San Agustín, Tierradentro, Nariño, Quimbaya and Tolima, were the first to work the metal they found in the rivers.

Extractions: Washington's Role in Colombian Repression The myth and the reality by Matthew Knoester Z magazine, January 1998 The Macondo Garcia Marquez describes is a spiraling history of his native Colombia. Macondo reveals an official Colombian history, surrounded by a whirlwind of myth. The official history becomes "magic." It erases the government repression in Colombia from history, just as Bogota daily newspapers misname those who are at fault for daily homicides, disappearances, and the hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Colombia. Since 1986 more Colombians have been killed at the hands of the military and their "paramilitary" allies each year than throughout the entire 17 years of political repression in Chile under the Pinochet dictatorship. Father Javier Giraldo, the Jesuit director of the Intercongregational Commission of Justice and Peace in Bogota, estimates that the military and paramilitary are responsible for 70 percent of the killings in Colombia. This amounts to over 14,000 people since 1986, if Amnesty International's figures are correct. And, as is well documented, even by the U.S. State Department's Human Rights Report of 1997, the impunity rate in Colombia rests between 97-99.5 percent.

Please help out by placing this op-ed and watching our website for more developments and resources! OP-ED: Counterinsurgency Just Won't Work in Colombia! The nature of the current conflict also creates a powerful disincentive to fight it militarily. The insurgents are largely Colombian peasants who inhabit the vast jungle or mountainous terrain. Their most effective weapons are not sophisticated missiles or expensive helicopters but crude bombs made from household gas tanks. To "win" this counterinsurgency war would require such draconian civilian repression by the state and its armed forces that it would effectively sow the seeds of the next insurgency group. Colombian peace advocates point to the last time there was a major counterinsurgency campaign in Colombia under the "soft dictatorship" of Rojas Pinilla in the 1950's. Rather than bringing lasting peace, that era of counterinsurgency led to the founding of both major guerrilla groups currently active in Colombia, the FARC and the ELN.

Extractions: Colombia: Fragmented Land, Divided Society , by Frank Safford and Marco Palacios. New York/Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2002. 404 pages. $24.95, paper. This is the long-announced survey of the history of Colombia by Frank Safford and Marco Palacios in Oxford's Latin American Histories series. Central America and Chile are already in their third edition, Argentina, Bolivia, the Caribbean, and Cuba in their second, while Brazil, Mexico, and Peru have new authors with entirely new histories. Nevertheless, the wait is richly rewarded. This is now the best single-volume history of Colombia although some may still prefer David Bushnell's The Making of Modern Colombia (1967). These individual Macondos make up the Colombian regions and nation, but in ever shifting relationships whose organizing principles and evolution have often escaped the understanding of historians but not that of Safford and Palacios. Many monographs from different disciplines have been produced on Colombia in the last thirty years. Safford and Palacios have benefited enormously from this production. To their credit they have actually read most of them. Synthesizing Colombia's history involves homogenizing its incredible diversity. Safford and Palacios have solved this problem by providing forty-two tables of country-wide statistics on such topics as population, gold production, slavery, exports, and urbanization. They then provide a solid overview of Colombia's political, economic, social, and urban development.

After finishing seven years of elementary school and six of secondary school or bachillerato, a student interested in higher education takes at least two examinations: the government's official test (ICFES) and the special admission test of each university. Public educational institutions are supported by the government, and private ones (including those of religious sponsorship) are supported by tuition fees. Each university is divided into faculties, which in turn are divided into departments or programs which manage their respective carreras or majors. Students follow a set plan of study for each semester. The duration of the first degree, or grado, ranges from three years for programs in technology to five years for humanities. After finishing this program of study, a thesis or a set of special comprehensive examinations is sometimes required before the degree is given. Usually the name of the degree designates the type of study that was completed. Another examination has to be taken in order to be accepted for programs at the master's and Ph.D. levels. Classes vary according to the different teaching styles of professors; however, the student must be prepared to work independently. The courses are evaluated by means of written or oral examinations, papers and in-class participation on a numerical scale that ranges from or 1, minimum, to 5, excellent. An evaluation below 3 mandates that the course be repeated. Some universities also require a minimum semester average.

Extractions: In biweekly meetings, Colombians and other residents in the Boston area have had the opportunity to attend a series of talks to stimulate discussion on a variety of topics related to Colombia. A wide variety of Colombian and non-Colombian public figures and academic experts have been invited to discuss diverse issues. From the beginning, a conscious effort was made to choose interdisciplinary topics. Talks have covered a wide scope of approaches, including Colombian history, ecological concerns, epidemiology of Colombian violence, questions of territorial decentralization, indigenous rights, Colombian cinema, and issues facing successful peace negotiations. The experiment has been quite successful. This year the Colloquium will complete six years of operations and, to the extent of our knowledge, is the only permanent forum about Colombia in the U.S. It has attracted successive generations of students and other Colombians in Boston and elsewhere and has helped those interested in Colombia gain a space for critical, interdisciplinary and open dialogue on political, economic, social and cultural issues related to Colombia, a possibility which is not offered in any class or student organization at Harvard or elsewhere.

solve the underlying political, social and economic problems that have been the real cause of all the violence that has occurred throughout colombian history.
http://www.colombiajournal.org/plancolombia.htm

Extractions: Introduction The proponents of Plan Colombia claim its successful implementation will end Colombia's civil war, revive the nation's economy and put the narco-traffickers out of business. In order to implement the $7.5 billion Plan, conceived by the Colombian and U.S. governments, Colombia is asking for $3.5 billion in international aid to supplement $4 billion of its own funding. However, it is still unclear just how the financially-strapped Colombian Government is going to raise $4 billion. According to the Plan, the initial objective is for the state to gain control of the entire country, some 40 percent of which is currently controlled by guerrilla forces. It intends to achieve this goal by launching a military offensive against the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in southern Colombia, while at the same time eradicating the coca crops that are grown in that region. Following the military phase, peasant farmers whose coca crops have been eradicated will be offered funding for alternative crops and aid will be made available to those campesinos forced to flee their homes and their land.

http://www.zmag.org/zmag/articles/jan98knoes.htm

Extractions: Washington's Role in Colombian Repression By Matthew Knoester Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the Colombian born 1982 Nobel Prize winner in literature, almost single-handedly changed the way Latin American literature is read around the world. Writing in a style others coined "magical realism," Garcia Marquez narrated the history of a town called Macondo in such classics as One Hundred Years of Solitude. In Macondo, "civilization" came and went, civil wars were fought without end, and massacres of banana workers appeared only as figments of a character's imagination. At one point in One Hundred Years, Garcia Marquez described the event in Colombian history in which hundreds of striking United Fruit workers were massacred in the town of Cienega in 1928. As Garcia Marquez told the story, one banana worker survived. The man returned to Cienega to find no traces of what had happened. He asked the police chief about the morning's occurrence and the chief said "Massacre? What massacre is he talking about? He must have been dreaming. Aqui, no pasa nada.

Extractions: March 22, 2002 Steve Shalom. The New York Times ran a story on February 25 by Juan Forero titled "Colombian Rebels Sabotage Peace Hopes." Perhaps you can address some of the questions raised by the article. Let me begin, however, by asking about the political program and values of the guerrilla group, Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Latin America has some guerrilla movements, like the Zapatistas in Chiapas, Mexico, who have been an inspiration to North American leftists, and others, like Shining Path in Peru, that are strongly condemned by North American leftists. Where would you place FARC on this continuum? Justin Podur. It is important to understand the FARC's roots. The FARC have their origins in peasant self-defense organizations. They grew out of a fight for survival, against the incursions of the state and against the mercenaries the landlords would hire to displace and kill them. That state-mercenary alliance evolved into the paramilitary forces of today, and the peasant self-defense groups evolved into the guerrilla insurgency. That's still the base of the FARC, I think peasants who are fighting for survival. Any solution to the conflict has to deal with this question: if people have no option but to fight with arms for survival, then they will fight with arms for survival.
