The community was right

You stop and the military would have acted together in the massacre of San jOse de Apartadó. As much, that the last week was captured a captain of the Army.

In February of 2005, when the community of peace of San jOse de Apartadó said that members of the Army had participated in the massacre of the path the Slippery one, where two families cruel were assassinated, nobody almost believed to them. Was incredible that members of the Armed Forces had participated in the crime of seven farmers, of them three were young, two of who they were degollados, and the other, beheaded.

Few believed to them, because the Armed Forces tried to demonstrate that their men were not in the site of the facts, and rather threw to roll the version of which the denunciations of their spokesmen, Gloria Fourth and the Jesuit father Javier Giraldo, was part of the “political war” that supposedly develops the guerrilla against the institutions.

But three years later, it seems that justice begins to demonstrate that the community was right. The past Wednesday, a public prosecutor of the unit of human rights dictated to measurement of securing to the captain of the Army Guillermo to him Armando Gordillo Sanchez for being coauthor of homicide, concert to break the law and terrorism. Gordillo was the official in charge of the company Scorpion, assigned to Brigade XVII with seat in Urabá. He and their men patrolled in the region when it happened the massacre. And although before the Office of the public prosecutor still it alleges his innocence, the testimonies and the tests that incriminan it are quite forceful.



The demobilized story of a paramilitary one became the key piece to arm the puzzle of this case, that he is one of which more international attention has provoked. Adriano White Jose Arteaga was a patrol craft of the group Heroes of Tolová, that belonged to “Don Bern” and operated between Cordova and Urabá, and that at the time of the massacre had not been demobilized. White it assures that paramilitary a well-known one as “44” were the one who directed the massacre and that another well-known as “Pirulo” went the one who degolló to the children. The paramilitary ones were, according to the story, next to about 50 soldiers to the control of Gordillo captain, who would have remained “assuring a mount” while the paramilitary ones went ahead to commit the crime.

First they killed to Luis Eduardo War, recognized leader of the peace community; to its Deyner son Andrés Guerra, of 11 years, and to Beyaniera Areiza. After killing them with machetes, they left its bodies thrown in the mountain. Later the Bolivars Tuberquia killed to Alfonso; to its children Natalia (of 5 years) and Santiago (of 2 years); to its wife, Sandra Milena Muñoz, and to a worker of the called property Alexander Perez. The four first also died to machete. The children, according to say the autopsy, “by degüello with cutting weapon”.

According to the paramilitary one, Gordillo would have commented to him to another member of “the 44” self-defense that had done him “cagada” to the salary killed to these people in its jurisdiction.

Extreme gravity

So that it happened this massacre? Was planned? Was concealment? Apparently, the investigation not yet throws answers to these questions. But there is hypothesis of the investigators who aim to settle down that the terrible facts would have been motivated in retaliación by an attack of the CRAF against the Army that two weeks before them had cost the life to 17 soldiers in Mutatá. Experts in criminology assure that modus operandi of this massacre not only denotes hatred, but the intention to send a message of terror to the other members of the community.

Although the securing measurement does not imply of in case that Gordillo captain is guilty, sources of the Office of the public prosecutor have assured to him to WEEK that the investigation as a whole aims at that the military acted like coauthors of the crime. The national and international implications of this crime are enormous.

On the one hand, this it is constituted in one of the most serious violations to the human rights committed in the last years. Specially because this community, that had declared neutral front to the conflict, had measures you will prevent that they forced the Colombian State to protect it of special way. If one demonstrates that those that had the mission to offer security him - the military were coauthors of the crime, the sanction for the country in the international scene will not be let hope.

But the Office of the public prosecutor not only seems to give the reason him to the community as far as the massacre. The testimonies of several paramilitary ones, including White, leave in evidence which the ONG have warned, that the military have conducted combined-arms operations with paramilitary, specially in Urabá. The Ministry of Defense has supported all to him to the Fisalía and insists on the necessity to guarantee the due process to him of Gordillo captain.

Beyond the sanctions that can feel the Colombian Be in favor of this fact, the Armed Forces require a deep reflection on two crucial aspects: the estigmatización of the peace communities, and the pursuit and control mechanisms of its troops.

In some sectors of the Troopses it is indicated in low voice to the communities of peace and many ONG like screens of the armed groups. The term has made race of “political war” to denominate in many cases the denunciations that legitimately and by legal means the communities do. The risk of the estigmatización is that many officials end up considering, equivocadamente, who can resort to criminal methods to fight to a enemy assumption.

As far as the control to his troops, he has been being worth the trouble to remember that for more than one decade, different sources - the military have even called the attention on the connivencia of members of Brigade XVII with the paramilitary ones. The internal investigations, nevertheless, never throw results.

If Gordillo captain and other military are guilty from this crime, the Armed Forces will face one of the greater shames of their history
