"Blimey! Eighty souls sent to Davy Jones’ locker in Colombia, all 'cause peace talks be as useful as a leaky ship!"
2025-01-21
Arrr, me hearties! Over the weekend, a mighty ruckus in northeast Colombia led to the demise of more than 80 souls, all 'cause the government couldn’t parley with the scallywags of the National Liberation Army. Blimey, ye’d think they’d learn to chat before the cannon fire!
Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a tale from the wilds of Colombia, where chaos reigns and peace talks have gone amiss, leavin' more than 80 souls meetin' their maker over the weekend! The National Liberation Army, or ELN fer those who be not well-versed in pirate lingo, has been causin' quite the ruckus, and folks be fleein' like scallywags from a sinking ship!It seems the government tried to parley with them rascally rebels, but alas, their efforts sank faster than a leaden cannonball. Poor Carmelo Guerrero and seven others who sought peace found naught but trouble, and the number of wounded be climbin' higher than a crow's nest on a stormy night!
As panic spread, families be packin’ their meager possessions, scurrying for safety in the mountains, while others be rescued by the gallant army, even bringin' along their loyal hounds! The governor of North Santander called fer aid, as young and old alike be showin’ up with naught but the clothes on their backs.
So here’s the rub, ye landlubbers: the ELN and the remnants of FARC be fightin’ over a treasure trove of coca plantations, while the good folks just want to live in peace. Now, let’s hope those swashbucklers lay down their arms so the innocent can sail smooth seas once more!
