Colombian rebel who surrendered calls on others to abandon civil conflict
A day after surrendering to the army, a one-eyed, battle-hardened female rebel commander urged other guerrillas Monday to follow her example and abandon their decades-long struggle. Nelly Avila Moreno, better known as «Karina,» denied her bloody reputation during a news conference. She said she surrendered because she was encircled, had a bounty on her head and was spooked by the recent murder of a fellow rebel leader by one of his bodyguards. Avila, 40, nevertheless expressed admiration for Venezuela's socialist president, Hugo Chavez, who has been implicated in seeking to arm and finance the rebels in documents the Colombian government says it found on the computer of a different slain guerrilla. Her surrender Sunday was a major propaganda victory for President Alvaro Uribe, who has made defeating the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, the cornerstone of his administration.

Commander Karina (Nelly Avila Moreno) might have been coerced into surrendering to the U.S. controlled puppet regime in Colombia, because she has swallowed the bait put out by propaganda.
ReplyDeleteIf we are to consider what Karina said, we should also consider what many U.S. prisoners-of-war in North Korean or those in North Vietnamese hands said. Which is asking their fellow members of the U.S. armed forces to surrender. Now if the U.S. called that propaganda and brainwashing, what do you think Karina is doing right now?
This actually means that the U.S. has been in the process of brainwashing members of FARC. Treat this venture for what it is, before going any further.
