COLOMBIA

United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia
Extreme Right-wing paramilitary organization formed by army officers, druglords and big landowners to exterminate leftist activists in Colombia. Among their records is the extermination of the leftist legal political party Patriotic Union, assesination of hundreds of trade union leaders, chainsaw massacres and forced displacement. Right now they are in "negotiations" with their sponsors, the Colombian government led by Alvaro Uribe, which has passed a law that will allow them to get away with their crimes against humanity and the land of displaced peasants. Many of their leaders are drug barons walking free in the cities of Colombia and still carry out state terrorism against labor activists, community leaders and supossed guerrilla simpathizers, at the orders of the Colombian state.
"...Standing at a historic point, I will repay with my life the loyalty of the people. And I say to you that I am certain that the seed we have surrendered into the worthy conscience of thousands and thousands of Chileans, will not be able to be reaped at one stroke. They have the power, they can make us their vassals, but not stop the social processes, neither by crime nor by force. History is ours and is made by the people."
Salvador Allende, 9-XI-1973
