Strategic Insights -- Uribe’s Second Mandate, the War, and the Implications for Civil-Military Relations in ... Uribe’s first three years in office have witnessed a marked improvement in civil-military relations, at least as far as the presidency is concerned. Uribe has the authority to make things happen.”[4] One of the things he made happen within a week of taking office was to declare a state of emergency that imposed press censorship, removed elected officials who “contribute to public turmoil,” and bestowed sweeping powers on the security forces in tumultuous areas of the country.[5] Rangel for one refuses to equate Uribe’s survival with that of Colombia. www.ccc.nps.navy.mil /si/2006/Feb/porchFeb06.asp   (5515 words)

Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia On November 27, 2004, Colombian Defense Minister Jorge Alberto Uribe told reporters that apparently the FARC leadership had secretly commanded their followers to attempt to attack visiting U.S. President George W. Bush during his visit to the city of Cartagena, according to intelligence reports. It was speculated that these actions, and those that might follow later into the year, could be directed towards undermining the advances made by the policies of the Uribe administration, as a possible means to weaken Uribe's chances in the future 2006 electoral contest, where he was expected to run for reelection. They request security guarantees both for the displacement of their negotiators and that of the guerrillas that would be freed, which are specifically stated to number as many as 500 or more, and ask the Catholic Church to coordinate the participation of the United Nations and other countries in the process. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/FARC   (5377 words)

Indymedia UK - Protest Against Colombia President Uribe in EU Parliament by Richard Howitt, MEP Speaking were Gloria Ramirez from the CUT (Trade Union Federation), Reinaldo Villalba from the Colombian human rights organisation affiliated to FIDH, Gloria Cuarta ex-Mayor of Apartado, and Gustavo Petro member of the Colombian Congress. Uribe was clearly rattled by this demonstration, as he told the subsequent press conference: "there are more journalists here than there were in the other place". I spoke on behalf of the Socialists and challenged Uribe on impunity for paramilitaries, failure to respect the London Agreement and his vilification against trade unions and NGOs. www.indymedia.org.uk /en/2004/02/285201.html   (1327 words)

ESPN Fantasy Baseball 2006: League News and Injuries   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) Ramirez, who was placed on the disabled list Tuesday, has a partially torn ligament in his left middle finger that could end his season, the Associated Press reports. Uribe was expected to return on Tuesday so a trip to the disabled list is looking more and more likely. This is two bad starts in a row for Ramirez - it's time to be at least a little concerned that he might be wearing down or that teams are starting to scout him out a little better. games.espn.go.com /cgi/flb/leaguenews?showOnlyInjuries=false&sort=date   (7468 words)

Colombia The military high command, under the leadership of Defense Minister Luis Fernando Ramirez and General Fernando Tapias, stated repeatedly that it would not tolerate collaboration between military personnel and paramilitary groups and that the army would combat paramilitary groups; however, security force actions in the field were not always consistent with the leadership's positions. The judge determined that soccer magnate Gustavo Adolfo Upegui Lopez was not implicated in the murders but ordered a review of evidence presented during the CINEP trial that connected Upegui with paramilitary groups. In December a Medellin court ruled that Wilson Eusebio Garcia Ramirez, commander of the ELN's "Carlos Alirio Buitrago" front, should be tried in absentia for the September 1998 killings of CTI members Edilbrando Roa Lopez and John Morales Patino at Mesopotamia, Antioquia. www.state.gov /g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2000/wha/index.cfm?docid=741   (19937 words)

Untold Stories The Uribe administration, for example, is pushing for U.S. and European funding of a $130 million plan to reintegrate the demobilized paramilitaries into society. Since the Uribe government began negotiating with them in 2002, the paramilitaries have ostensibly demobilized units totaling more than 8,500 of their 20,000 fighters. Uribe, speaking at a March conference of news executives, urged media outlets to exercise “self-control” and consider barring the publication of interviews with members of illegal armed groups. www.cpj.org /Briefings/2005/DA_fall05/colombia/colombia_DA_fall_05.html   (3500 words)

Colombia: Uribe met with protests in European Parliament I totally support your non-exchange of kidnap victims.” In relation to negotiations with the paramilitaries, Uribe refused to answer why he was undertaking negotiations, and offering impunity, without a ceasefire. The requirement on the Colombian Government to meet the U. recommendations in full was made at a donor’s conference convened by the British Government, leading to the “London Declaration” signed on 10 July 2003. On September 8 2003, President Uribe made a speech to the Colombian military in which he called human rights groups “spokesmen for terrorism” and “politickers of terrorism”, challenging them to “take off their masks... www.labournet.net /world/0402/colomb3.html   (1033 words)

Colombia At year's end, marine Colonel Jose Ancizar Molano Padilla (then-commander of the 2nd Marine Infantry Battalion) as well as marine Corporals Javier Fernando Guerrero, Eduardo Aristides Alvarez, and Jose Milton Caicedo were standing trial in a civilian court in Pasto for the 1995 social cleansing killings of alleged thieves Sifredy and Fredy Arboleda. The military high command, under the leadership of Minister of Defense Gustavo Bell and General Fernando Tapias, stated repeatedly that it would not tolerate collaboration between military personnel and paramilitary groups, and that the army would combat paramilitary groups. Although state security forces doubled operations against paramilitaries during the year and tripled the number of paramilitaries captured since 2000 (see Section 1.g.), security force actions in the field were not always consistent with the leadership's positions, and members of the security forces sometimes illegally collaborated with paramilitary forces. www.state.gov /g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2001/wha/8326.htm   (19964 words)

Mexico: Intolerable Killings: 10 years of abductions and murder of women in Ciudad Juárez and Chihuahua - Amnesty ... In November 2001 two bus drivers, Víctor Javier García Uribe and Gustavo González Meza, were arrested and accused of murdering the eight young women whose bodies were found in the cotton field. The absence of an independent and impartial judiciary and the unwillingness of judges to implement international human rights standards, especially at the state level, means that the courts are not effectively protecting the rights of the accused to physical integrity and a fair trial. However, a document from the director of the prison where Gustavo González Meza and Víctor Javier García were held after questioning indicates that they were suffering from injuries upon arrival at the prison. web.amnesty.org /library/index/engamr410262003   (17621 words)
