Quote of the Week:

"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."

"But we will all be taken down with it."

Colombiann Army massacres Peace leaders and Family
This morning during team prayers we talked about the massacre in San José de Apartadó and when I checked out the blog and saw Robin's question, I figured I should write a bit about it here. This information comes from a release from Red Hermandad y Solidaridad, the website of Peace Community of San José de Apartadóon.

Monday, February 24, persons identified as belonging to the Colombian National Army's 6th Brigade killed peace community leader Luis Eduardo Guerra, his partner, Bellanira Areiza Guzman, his 11 year old son Deiner Andres Guerra, Alfonso Bolivar Tuberquia Graciano, Afro-Colombian leader and Peace Council Member, his partner, Sandra Milena Munoz Pozo and their children, 2 year old Santiago Tuberquia Munoz and 6 year old Natalia Andrea Turbequia Munoz.

San José de Apartadóon is on the west end of the Atlantic coast of Colombia, see this map for an exact location. The Fellowship of Reconciliation has been supporting these Peace Communities for a while. According to their website, the Peace community at San Jose is one of about 50 around Colombia that have declared themselves neutral and refuse to support any armed groups. You can read more about that here: http://www.forusa.org/programs/colombia/colombiaprogram.html. I'm guessing that was how Luis ended up speaking at the SOA protest (that's him speaking their on the right).

This massacre is especially significant because it was carried out by the Colombian army itself. And the Bush administration is getting ready to give a whole bunch more money to the Colombian military, not just for the "drug war" but also for explicitly fighting the civil war, which is blatantly targetting civilians.
