The interviewer was probably the last in her graduating class at whatever school interviewers go to become interviewers.

Despite all the crap the interviewer put on her, she did pretty well.
Brave admirable woman, for sure.

OK I'm not gonna lie, that interviewer made me somewhat regret that over the years I've felt sorry for all the journalists that get killed all the time.

Middle class white girl joins rebel army that wants state power and has killed peasants and if in power will kill jail and torture more, dissent will be punished and capitalism will be based on continuing to whore off the countries resources and cheap labour and centralised planning with result in economic falliure and a return in 50 years to free market capitalism once more without the facade of socialism the regimne had put up.
What a girl, hope she does not step on one of those shitty landmines both sides plant like anti working class knobheads.
This woman has the most comic bout of white mans burden ever. I would rather support the colombian anarchists fighting for human rights and workers to organise themselves in the city and peasantry in the countryside, not the foreign stalinist che Guevara shirt wearing student who would kill them.

To me it seemed like she came to her conclusions w/ regards to FARC due to her daily experiences in Colombia, not through "white man's burden" or whatever.
I am critical of FARC and have criticized the group many times on this board, but on the other hand I can see why individuals like her join the organization. They realize that something is very wrong in Colombia and FARC seems like the most militant and solid organization through which resistance can be achieved, etc. So while I have misgivings about their ideology & tactics, I'm not so judgemental about people who turn to the group out of fear or anger...

This has got to be the most opportunistic tendency baiting I've seen in a while, and like most obvious tendency baits it really has little to do with the thread.

Tanja Nijmeier is a very brave and admirable woman and she could be seen as a source of inspiration for leftists all over the world. In the Netherlands, although a lot of people condemn Nijmeijer, there also is a certain level of admiration. That might be a sign that even in this country people get to understand that a different world is needed.

Of course, I want nothing to do with FARC, but she seems very genuine, if not somewhat naive, idealistic, and something of a revolutionary fantasist.

I was told by a returning member of an accompaniment team(http://forusa.org/groups/services/peace-accompaniment) that FARC was the least of their worries. The paramilitary groups and army, supported by the Columbian and USA governments and corporations, were the biggest threat. After that, accidentally getting caught in between FARC and the others:(. The brave souls in the accompaniment project live and travel with members of the peace communities, hoping that that the paras and army will not want to kill foreigners or those with them as it creates complications that don't exist with peasants alone.

I actually met her a couple of times before she joined the FARC, nice girl, not my organisation by far but I'm not going to slagg her for the choices she made.

Go fuck youself, even if you're already banned... go fuck yourself with a rake. That interviewer lady made my blood pressure double, and this comment doubled it again.
