Stefano RittondaleGUEST
Right.
Stefano RittondaleGUEST
You still have the FARC, obviously, and the FARC dissidents.
Stefano RittondaleGUEST
There's various FARC dissidents and they all fight against each other.
Stefano RittondaleGUEST
And sometimes you have the ELN, you have Clan del Golfo, you have the self-defense groups that are, you know, these right wing death squads.
Stefano RittondaleGUEST
and they have territory controls and a lot of them are much more remote areas.
Terence M. StantonHOST
The Colombian government was attempting to eliminate a cell of Marxist terrorists, which strove to destabilize their government and sought immunity from reprisals a few miles from the international border.
Terence M. StantonHOST
Colombia's military strike resulted in the deaths of more than 20 members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, including their second in command, Raul Reyes.
Terence M. StantonHOST
FARC has been in existence since the 1960s, and in addition to being a political revolutionary group, is heavily involved in the drug trade.
Terence M. StantonHOST
This action was authorized by Colombia's president, Alvaro Uribe, and led to increased tension between Colombia and Ecuador.
Sara CarterGUEST
And he has been very publicly open, the new president of Colombia.
Sara CarterGUEST
that he's going to be hitting the cartels really hard as far as eradication of coca and ensuring that we remove the cocaine and ensuring that we go after and capture some of the worst of the worst, whether that's, you know, people with ELN or the FARC, anybody who's moving or operating with the cartels or working with the cartels, we are coming after them.
Sara CarterGUEST
We saw that in Mexico when we have extradition and when we have come out publicly and have pointed our finger at Mexican politicians and said, hey, we want them.
Sara CarterGUEST
We know they're working with the cartels.
Sean WilliamsHOST
And the North Coast cartel is all but over by the early 2000s.
Sean WilliamsHOST
And that is when a vacuum at the top of Colombia's narco tree is filled by the Clan del Golfo, a.k.a. Los Gaitanistas, which forms out of the disillusion of the AUC, an anti-communist paramilitary terror organization responsible for attacks against the leftist FARC and National Liberation Army.
Sean WilliamsHOST
Far too dense to get into today.
Sean WilliamsHOST
I'll try and do a more detailed episode about Colombia's civil war a later date.
Sean WilliamsHOST
Yeah, I had the fortune of like skimming a couple of Toby's chapters for this as well from his book, which is such a cool read.
Sean WilliamsHOST
Anyway, this decades long conflict pretty much is the genesis of the country's narco trafficking industry.
Sean WilliamsHOST
I mean, most folks listening are going to know what the FARC are, right? It's the FARC.
Sean WilliamsHOST
resisting the urge to make a one out of 10 pun right now.
Sasha IngberHOST
And yet I am told that the Russians have started to turn to proxies who are no longer amateurs, as we saw in the early days of the full-scale invasion, that they are recruiting Colombians who have experience in drone surveillance attacks.
Sasha IngberHOST
These are post-FARC factions, guerrilla groups.
Sasha IngberHOST
Then there's this advanced middle layer of former intelligence officers who manage them.
David PetraeusGUEST
Well, the Russians are doing anything that they can.
Sara CarterGUEST
And he has been very publicly open, the new president of Colombia, that he's going to be hitting the cartels really hard as far as eradication of coca and ensuring that we remove the cocaine.
Sara CarterGUEST
and ensuring that we go after and capture some of the worst of the worst, whether that's people with the LN or the FARC, anybody who's moving or operating with the cartels or working with the cartels, we are coming after them.
Sara CarterGUEST
We saw that in Mexico when we have extradition and when we have come out publicly and have pointed our finger at Mexican politicians and said, hey, we want them.
Sara CarterGUEST
We know they're working with the cartels.
Manuel RuedaCORRESPONDENT
Munoz said that the officials who removed items from the museum appeared to follow no established criteria.
Manuel RuedaCORRESPONDENT
On the items that were taken away, there was a women's rights manifesto published in 1978, and the PEN used to sign a peace deal in 2016 between the Colombian government and the FARC guerrillas.
Manuel RuedaCORRESPONDENT
It's a deal that many people in Colombia have been critical of, but is still part of Colombia's history.
Catalina MuñozSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think it definitely is an ideological criteria, and it's copying a model of things that have been done in other countries across the Americas.

One of my aims in writing this essay is to make the case for cooperatives to be on the agenda for a potential peace agreement.
speaker_0NARRATOR
It is in this context that I became interested in the role cooperatives have played in Colombia, following the peace agreement in 2016 between the Colombian government and the FARC-EP, the country's largest rebel group.
speaker_0NARRATOR
The accord, signed after more than half a century of armed conflict, was described by the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana as the most comprehensive of the 34 agreements signed worldwide since the end of the Cold War.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Among its notable innovations was a proposal for the collective reincorporation of excombatants through cooperatives and other associative forms of a social economy.
