Why I hven't be active the last couple weeks? Because of this:
You all know Colombia for the coffee, the cocaine (Im not gonna lie) the women, etc.. But this is how Colombia looks like right now. Juan Manuel Santos the president singed a North American Free Trade Agreement, so now the chicken, the rice even the corn we eat in Colombia comes form the US, what do we give them? Oil of course. Since our famers can compete against super transgenic cheap producs they broke, and they are not millionaires, the farmers of my country are poor people without education or fundamental rights, so they are making protest around the country and this is the answer of the president -He even said in TV that whoever who tried to protest would be arrested- there is several people injured, arrested, and I just read that a student died. The police has no mercy and soon as the ONU said to the president: Whoa dude, you are being to rude, you need to calm down, because you are being a monster He replied: Then leave the country.
The police has gas, they are dressed as civilians and start riots, so in that way the police can rightfully use the force, they are shooting people, not just gas or rubber bullets, they have real bullets, and they can use them, the president make them free to do whatever they want for appease the protest.
Those people are not criminals, they put food on our plates, they keep our country alive, but for our president it is not enough, thats why companies like Pacific rubiales and more can stay at the country, use the army, the resources, contaminate our water and destroy our forest, and then leave with a debt of millions os dollars, and they president just say to them Oh cmon guys, why did you leave? Please come back, not because you owe us a lot of money is because you are rich
This photo breaks my heart, because my grandparents were farmers too, they build our homes with their own hands, they teach me to work hard, they teach me how important the earth is, and now if they were alive they probably would be in jail.
Please help us, Colombia needs you help, not your money, your help, share the word, if you ignore the problem you are part of it.
Thank you and sorry for the shitty english, isnt my first language.
Update: Teachers and students are joining them since today, the police is already in some universities, there is a lot of arrested students and why are trying to contain the police but everything is out of control. Stores are selling vegetables 5 times more expensive because there is no food, and the ex president: Alavaro Uribe Velez, a criminal the one who impulse all this laws that today fucked up us now is supporting the protest, why? Because elections are coming and we all know what it means, that guy is a CRIMINAL, he is responsable of this and a genocide, murder, and more. Ill post some pictures and videos of what is going on:

I'm so sorry to hear that. Sounds like business as usual for America. :( I hope you and your loved ones manage to get through this storm in good health and that things get resolved for the benefit of all. xox

This is just another example of how money is the root of all evil and those that dedicate their lives to the pursuit of it and destroy lives in the process are no better than common criminals.
