Once again our Peace Community records the new acts of horror against us and against the people of our geographical and social environment. Joint activities between the military and paramilitaries in the region continue openly. For all our requests that the High Government take action, it shows itself to be deaf, dumb and schizophrenic. The new documented facts are:

· On Monday, July 7, 2014 at 9:00 am a group of soldiers stationed themselves for several minutes at the entrance to the settlement of San Josecito of our peace community, which is our living and working space as well as being private property of the Community. When community members became aware of the presence of the military, they went to ask them to withdraw. One of the soldiers, on whose uniform was the nametag ROJAS, treated the community shamelessly and abusively, alleging that the peace community were armed actors like them, and he identified himself as a peace community member. He argued that he was there because he wanted to greet the international observers who were present there, and exchange contacts. Our Peace Community rejects these insults by the National Army against us, and we remind them that our private spaces, enshrined in the constitution and the law, are not spaces of meetings and exchange of information with any armed group including the armed forces.

Nuevamente nuestra Comunidad de Paz, deja constancias de los nuevos hechos de horror contra nuestra Comunidad de Paz y contra la población de nuestro entorno geográfico y social. Las acciones conjuntas entre militares y paramilitares en la región continúan abiertamente.  Por mas que supliquemos al Alto Gobierno tomar medidas, se hace siego, sordo y esquizofrénico. Los hechos son:

"... Neither the sowers of barbarism and terror, nor their rifles, will make us give up our principles or make us kneel and bend into a complicit silence towards that barbarism ..."

"…Ni los sembradores de la barbarie y el terror, ni los fusiles, nos harán renunciar a nuestros principios ni arrodillar y doblegar en un silencio cómplice frente a la misma barbarie…" 

 Despite our cries and documentation, the paramilitaries continue to develop their civil-military plan of war in the rural settlements of Rodoxali, Zabaleta and La Hoz of the township of San José. They are building roads and houses there, and all the materials are brought to the town of Nuevo Antioquia by paramilitaries and then civilians are forced to carry building materials to the settlements, all under the complacency of local authorities at regional, provincial and national levels. Given these and other facts, our Peace Community again records for humanity and for history, these new developments to the already long list of crimes under impunity committed against the Peace Community and the local population day by day. The new facts are: 

A pesar de nuestros clamores y constancias, los paramilitares continúan desarrollando su plan cívico militar de guerra en las veredas Rodoxali, Zabaleta y la Hoz del Corregimiento de San José. Allí, vienen construyendo carreteras, y viviendas, todo los materiales son traídos hasta el casco Urbano de Nuevo Antioquia por los paramilitares y luego, es obligada la población civil a llevar los materiales de construcción a dichas veredas, todo bajo la complacencia de las autoridades locales, regionales, departamentales y del orden nacional. Ante estos y otros hechos, nuestra Comunidad de Paz nuevamente deja constancia ante la humanidad y la historia de estos nuevos acontecimientos que se suman día tras día a la ya gran lista de crímenes que gozan de absoluta impunidad cometidos contra la Comunidad de Paz y la población del entorno. Los nuevos hechos son;

Nuestra Comunidad de Paz, vivió uno de los momentos mas emblemáticos de su proceso, el 23 de marzo de 2014, realizando una ofrenda floral a todas las víctimas de nuestra Comunidad, como una forma de decir ¡BASTA!, no mas muertes, no mas torturas, al celebrar los 17 años de resistencia civil y pacifica. Aquí un pequeño video de ese momento.

While people speak of peace, tranquillity, development and progress in Urabá, the gunfire does not let up. Yet again our Peace Community finds itself with ethical and moral obligation to record before the country, the world, and history, the new facts of horror, in order to prevent oblivion being complicit in human brutality:

Mientras en Urabá se habla de tranquilidad, desarrollo y progreso; los fusiles al asecho no dan tregua. Nuevamente nuestra Comunidad de Paz se ve en la obligación ética y moral de colocar ante el país, el mundo y la historia  los nuevos hechos de horror para que el olvido no termine siendo cómplice de la brutalidad humana:
