The assassination of Raúl Reyes and 18 other FARC guerrillas
exposes the real intentions of the Colombian state and the US government.
With this massacre, the Uribe government and American imperialism aim to derail
the negotiations over the release of hostages and thus deny any peace in Colombia, and at the same time prepare for more acts of
aggression against the unfolding revolution in Venezuela
and Ecuador.

A vicious attack on the Peace Community in San Jose de Apartado left 8
people dead, including women and children. Witnesses reported that
armed men who identified themselves as part of the 11th Brigade of the
Colombian army were involved. The brutal actions of the army, and the
government's denial of any involvment has led many to demand an enquiry
into the matter. It is clear, no matter the outcome of any
investigation, that the workers and peasants of Colombia can only rely
on themselves for defence. |

On September 16, there was a massive general strike of Colombian workers and peasants.
Below is an interview with Javier Correa, president of the National Union of Food Industry
Workers of Columbia (SINALTRAINAL), while he was on a speaking tour of Europe. He is
appealing for the solidarity of workers and youth in other countries with his union’s
struggle against the Colombian government’s brutal campaign of repression and to seek
justice for the murders of trade unionists in the company in which he works: Coca Cola.
