Solidarité internationaliste avec le peuple Colombien

Friends of the Earth International and 81 other organizations condemn the Colombian government's use of military and police force against peaceful protesters. The statement links social unrest to economic inequality, the failure to implement FARC-EP peace accords, and an extractive development model that prioritizes capital accumulation over nature and human rights. It calls for an end to human rights violations, the cessation of aerial glyphosate spraying, and the implementation of comprehensive agrarian reform.

• Economic inequality in Colombia is stark, with 42.5% of the population (21 million people) living below the financial poverty line, while the financial system reported net profits of approximately 6.3 billion USD (24,250 billion Colombian pesos) from January to September 2020.
• The Colombian government is accused of failing to implement agreements with the former FARC-EP guerrilla, with approximately 270 signatories killed in the last two years.
• Systemic violence against social leaders and communities has escalated; INDEPAZ reported 32 massacres in 2021 and 573 assassinated social and community leaders during the first two years of the current government.
• The document criticizes a development model that treats nature as a commodity, specifically citing the return of aerial glyphosate spraying, priority given to extractive activities for economic recovery, mining in water-essential páramos, and the approval of the first fracking projects.
• Police violence during protests between April 28 and May 4, 2021, resulted in 1,443 recorded cases of violence, 31 deaths, 814 arbitrary arrests, 92 physical assaults (including 21 eye attacks), and 10 cases of sexual violence against women.
• The signatory organizations demand comprehensive agrarian reform for food sovereignty, the demilitarization of territories, the dismantling of state-led paramilitarism, and the renegotiation of free trade agreements affecting indigenous, Afro-descendant, and peasant populations.
