That is why the fight for the territory is core within all struggles being addressed nowadays.” Communist Party Cuba “That flag, that sky, that land, We will defend no matter what.” Communist Party Agrarian reform: “The land for those who sow it” Chile Communist Party Land and freedom, The land belongs to he who toils My land and freedom, Civil war México Institutional Revolutionary Party Communist Party Venezuela Communist party and MIR’s activities suspended The act invoques the 114th article in the Constitution Communist Party Communism continued its way up to Colombia: The jewel in the crown COLOMBIAN LIBERAL GERRILLAS What does it mean?

That is why they did not disclose their trafficking routes. ILLEGAL DRUGS • FARC’s drug traffickers will be granted amnesty, given that this crime will be deemed as connected with this rebellion. • They won’t be extradited. • Manual eradication of illicit crops will be prioritized (to avoid the so- called damage to the environment caused by fumigation with glyphosate). • Community assemblies and city councils will be in charge of the follow-up and assessment of the integral crop replacement program. STRONG RIOTS BETWEEN “COCALIZED” CROFTERS AND THE POLICE FORCE Coca crofters protest in North Santander leaving 4 wounded. Tumaco still paralyzed due to coca crofters’ protests.

  • Bolivian Drug Control Efforts: Genuine Progress, Daunting Challenges
    BOLIVIAN DRUG CONTROL EFFORTS: GENUINE PROGRESS, DAUNTING CHALLENGES By Kathryn Ledebur and Coletta A. Youngers 2 BOLIVIAN DRUG CONTROL EFFORTS Introduction Following a landslide victory at the polls, Evo Morales became president of Bolivia in January 2006.1 Head of the coca-growers’ federation, Morales was a long-standing foe of U.S. drug policy, and many observers anticipated a complete break in U.S.-Bolivian relations and hence an end to drug policy cooperation. Instead, both Morales and the George W. Bush administration initially kept the rhetoric at bay and developed an amicable enough bilateral relationship—though one that at times has been fraught with tension. Following Bolivia’s expulsion in 2008 of the U.S. Ambassador, Philip Goldberg, for allegedly meddling in the country’s internal affairs and encouraging civil unrest, and the subsequent expulsion of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the White House upped its criticism of the Bolivian government and for the past five years has issued a “determination” that Bolivia has “failed demonstrably during the previous 12 months to adhere to [its] obligations under international narcotics agreements.”2 U.S. economic assistance for Bolivian drug control programs has slowed to a trickle. Nonetheless, in 2011 the two countries signed a new framework agreement to guide bilateral relations and are pending an exchange of ambassadors. Moreover, cooperation continues between the primary Bolivian drug control agency—the Ministry of Government’s Vice Ministry of Social Defense and Controlled Substances—and the Narcotics Affairs Section (NAS) of the U.S. embassy. At the international level, Bolivia is seeking to reconcile its new constitution, which recognizes the right to use the coca leaf for traditional and legal purposes and recognizes coca as part of the country’s national heritage, with its commitments to international conventions.
