Ecuadorīs Correa Links
Colombia-US
President of Ecuador
Rafael Correa denounced
in Nicaragua Thursday
Colombiaīs aggressive
policy, and said
President Alvaro Uribe
has embraced the same
aggressive principles of
the United States.
This is not just a
problem between Ecuador
and Colombia, but a
regional matter in which
Colombia represents the
United States, the
president said.
My homeland was raided
by the Colombian
military for no reason,
said Correa during a
joint press conference
with his Nicaraguan peer
Daniel Ortega.
He added that Uribe
tried to sustain false
arguments, but the lies
fell before the weight
of the truth.
The arguments of the
Colombian head of State
are a real mockery of
the truth, said Correa,
as he referred to Bogota
maneuvers to justify the
aggression and the
massacre of FARC
guerrillas who were
taking part in
negotiations to release
hostages.
He said that if OAS (the
Organization of American
States) fails to condemn
the attack in a meeting
scheduled for March 17,
"we will then have to
throw OAS into the
garbage of history."
Correa called on Latin
American countries not
to let this situation go
unpunished and stressed
that tomorrow is the
time to be or not to be,
as several Latin
American presidents will
meet in the Dominican
Republic for the Rio
Group summit.
He hoped that this
meeting of the Group of
Rio won"t fail to
discuss the issue and
condemn the aggression.
Uribe and his "clumsy,
warmongering speech" are
a threat to Latin
America, the Ecuadorian
president declared.
"Let us be clear, in the
Dominican Republic we
must speak clearly for
the sake and future of
the region," he
concluded. |
