New Anti-Ecuador Campaign in Colombia
Quito - Ecuador is facing a new slanderous
campaign from Colombia aimed at linking President
Rafael Correa with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of
Colombia (FARC).
Ecuadoran Security Minister Miguel Carvajal called
déjà vu a video showing an alleged FARC leader who
claims he had given money to Correa following the
March 1, 2008 Colombia military raid against a FARC
guerrilla camp within Ecuadoran borders.
They are not only trying to link our government to
the FARC but to smear our anti-drug and
anti-paramilitary policies, Carvajal stated.
The Ecuadoran cabinet official warned that the video
broadcasts coincide with an arrest warrant an
Ecuadoran judge issued against Colombian former
minister Juan Manuel Santos for his direct
involvement in the attack against the FARC camp at
the border with Ecuador.
He added that he is not surprised by the coincidence
of the broadcasts with the closing of the US air
base in Manta, Ecuador. |
