No evidence Cuba sponsors Colombia’s FARC and ELN rebels: US

No evidence Cuba sponsors Colombia’s FARC and ELN rebels: US
Posted by Adriaan Alsema on Jun 22, 2015

There is no credible evidence indicating that Cuba is sponsoring Colombia’s main rebel groups FARC and ELN, the Unites States government said in its annual terrorism report.

According to the US State Department, “there is no credible evidence that the Government of Cuba has provided specific material support, services, or resources, to members of the FARC, or the National Liberation Army (ELN), outside of facilitating the internationally recognized peace process between those organizations and the Government of Colombia.”

The country has been the host nation of ongoing peace talks between the FARC and the administration of President Juan Manuel Santos since November 2012.

Cuba was put on the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism by the late President Ronald Reagan in 1982 and has long been accused by opponents of the communist regime of having sponsored the FARC and ELN, whose Marxist ideologies were partly inspired by the Cuban revolution between 1953 and 1959.

hope it can show the light to other people, too.

These things SHOULD be learned now, or as soon thereafter as possible.

Amazing how complete the game became so long ago. Totally pulled the wool over so many eyes.

We gotta fight our way out of ignorance.

Surely appreciate this huge boost.

to "massage" numbers for decades, it's how quickly and offhandedly they'll admit it

they got a permanent pipeline to the insane Salvadoran Army ("but it's less insane than ORDEN!&quot , they got the Nicaraguan Guardsmen setting up shop in Honduras under the fanatic Argentinean-trained generalissimo--they got their version of events out when it was needed to sway a vote, and now a few days after they'll just yawn in your face

Hard to believe they can see themselves as legitimate human beings.

They must stay drunk around the clock to keep from worrying about karma.
