The death of the best one occurred in the middle of a fight between the Public Force and the first front of the FARC dissidents in the municipalities of Caloto and Toribío, Cauca; As indicated in Noticias Caracol, General Marco Vinicio Martínez, commander of the Army’s third division, the recruitment of minors by this criminal group constitutes a clear violation of human rights.
“The death of the 14-year-old girl, which occurred in the middle of the combat between Army troops and this criminal group, is the queen test of the recruitment of minors by these criminal groups, who hide behind the special regulations that protect minors from age to proceed to expand in their criminal activity, ”emphasized General Martínez in the middle.
Giovanni Tule, indigenous leader, rejected “strongly” in the newscast the strategy of the FARC dissidents to recruit children for war and armed conflict. “A girl who had her whole future ahead of her and who was unfortunately frustrated by this armed confrontation in our territories.”
How they recruit minors
Carlos, as the authorities call him to protect his identity, and who belonged to the dissidents of the first front of the Farc, which are present in Guaviare, Meta, Caquetá and Putumayo, indicated in the media that During the four years that he lasted within the illegal organization, he was in charge of recruiting minors and planning actions against the Public Force and the civilian population.
“One simply tells them if they want to join the guerrilla and more than one says yes. So there one deceives them and tells them that if they don’t like the guerrillas after 15 days they can go home. But that is a lie, after they are there they do not come out again ”, affirmed the ex-guerrilla in the news.
The guerrillas’ strategy, according to him, is reaching out to small villages and farms, identifying future victims (mainly children of poor peasants), and with the promise of money to help their families deceive them; however, within days of entering, most already want to return home.
“Anyone who wanted to leave would leave, but if he let himself be caught, they would kill him. They promise money, studies do not promise, only political studies, ”Carlos highlighted in the middle, adding that the structure to which he belonged was made up mostly of minors. “I received many orders to kill, even the same partner. I received orders to raise explosives but I never did ”, he sentenced.
