Southwest Colombia shocked by yet another massacre


by Adriaan Alsema September 20, 2021

Locals from the town of Tulua found the victims of the ninth massacre in Colombia’s southwestern Valle del Cauca province on Sunday.

The region around the city of Cali has been one of the hardest hit by a surge in massacres that has been registered throughout the country.

Colombia’s Defense Ministry registered a 91% increase in massacres of four or more people between January and July compared to the same period last year.

According to think tank Indepaz, 260 people were killed in 71 massacres of three and more people so far this year.

When the next Pres. election happened, a couple of years ago, a sleazy fascist drug-connected President arrived, and it became violent and very dirty all over again, with no end in sight, if someone sane isn't elected.

The current piggy President is a personal puppet of the really mobbed-up blood-thirsty Álvaro Uribe.



Tee-hee, giggle giggle.





Here's a little Medal of Freedom. I hope you like it, Álvaro.



Out there on his own ranch, W can drive as fast as he wants, of course! Woo hoo!
