Toribio: War in the Cauca Region
Posted in Colombia War | 36 comments
Latin Pulse brings you this episode of the Colombian TV show Contravía, where journalist Hollman Morris and his team travel to a remote community in Southern Colombia to eat, sleep and live with the Nasa Indians through a period of fear, displacement and anguish. With their homes turned into battlegrounds, the indigenous community around Toribío continue their peaceful resistance to the invasion of free trade, armies and guerrillas. Morris combines this inside experience with personal testimonies from all sides, for a transparent exploration of Colombia’s drawn-out conflict. Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s organization, The Foundation for a New Iberian-American Journalism, awarded Contravía’s episode Toribío its highest prize in 2007, for their efforts to raise visibility for the victims of war in a censored and bellicose media environment.

22:36 who pays? The children who are psychologically destroyed.
If you analyse very carefully that happened in Europe too, be it by kind but false words and wrong education.
The whole problem of this war is still the clashes of cultures like it was in Atahualpa’s times.
Jewish – European culture with its unjustified sentiment of supremacy, its want for organisation and its exagerated interest in the written word versus Indigenous culture with people just wanting to live their way according their traditions.
tengo tengo tengo
tu no tienes nada
tengo tres obejas
en una cabana
una me da leche
una me da lana
otra me mantiene
todo la semana
calballito blanco

I learned this song when I was in Latin America amongst many other folk songs.
suena a parcialidad de estos dos patos. no es nada nuevo la complicidad de los indigenas para con la guerilla. entonces es el ejercito el culpable? no los he escuchado quejandose de la destruccion hecha por los bandidos.
como se humaniza esta atrocidad de los bandidos? dialogando? me parece que con mas colaboracion de los indigenas y mas fuerza publica.
le duele mas que le llamen guerrillero que lo causado por los bandidos.
