The director of the now FARC party told the victims how wrong those of the now defunct guerrilla were when making their plans to expand, without taking into account the “worldview” of the indigenous communities, causing them great affectations, among them, sexual abuse.

“The hardest thing, and I do it with a lot of pain and a lot of conviction, is to recognize that this wrong reading brought as a consequence to you pain, uprooting, displacement, deaths, injuries, pain in many homes and something that was very painful because of the abomination, which were the cases of sexual violence”Said ‘Timochenko’.

The former head of the disappeared armed group apologized to the indigenous victims who heard his confession, and the opportunity to reconstruct what happened “so that the new generations have it as a lesson and it will not be repeated”, as heard in this video .

For his part, former paramilitary Salvatore Mancuso acknowledged, in the same Commission, that he assassinated the indigenous leader Kimy Pernía Domicó, and even spoke with his daughter.

“As a de facto member, I received a call from the State, from the Military Forces, I received an order from Commander Carlos Castaño in this regard to assassinate; our orders were to terminate, that means assassinate the leader Kimy Pernía Domicó. The excuses that they were giving, because they were excuses to do it, because you will understand, you will remember that the State registered you, it prevented you from entering food into the area, because it told you ‘freely’, what you wanted to take you could not take it, because they said that you there fed the subversive groups that were in the area [SIC]”Mancuso said.

The victim replied that he did not hold any grudges and wanted there to be no more war.
