La primera es que si bien a Colombia no le fue tan bien como se dice, tampoco le fue tan mal, pues en realidad no era nada f\u00e1cil defender una incursi\u00f3n armada en el territorio de un Estado vecino. La segunda es que la diplomacia colombiana no est\u00e1 funcionando en Am\u00e9rica Latina. <\/p>\n<p>Las deficiencias de nuestra pol\u00edtica exterior se insinuaban desde antes de la incursi\u00f3n en el campamento de las Farc. En el tema del intercambio humanitario parec\u00eda a veces que el secuestrador fuera el Estado colombiano. Adem\u00e1s despertaba muchos interrogantes el hecho de que en algunos pa\u00edses latinoamericanos se realizaran congresos de distinto tipo a los cuales asist\u00edan tranquilamente delegados de las Farc. <\/p>\n<p>Pero la debilidad de nuestra diplomacia qued\u00f3 realmente al descubierto luego del ataque en territorio ecuatoriano. All\u00ed nos encontramos con que en varios pa\u00edses de la regi\u00f3n se considera a las Farc como una organizaci\u00f3n de luchadores sociales que, al estilo de Robin Hood y en defensa de los intereses populares, se alz\u00f3 en armas contra la oligarqu\u00eda nacional y su Estado opresor.<\/p>\n<p>Es claro que esta imagen de las Farc difiere completamente de la que tenemos la inmensa mayor\u00eda de los colombianos que hemos tenido que soportar sus acciones criminales. Por eso es que surge la pregunta acerca de por qu\u00e9 nuestro servicio exterior no ha podido transmitir en los pa\u00edses vecinos el dolor y el horror que hemos experimentado los colombianos en las \u00faltimas d\u00e9cadas por causa del conflicto armado que nos azota, y del cual las Farc son protagonistas de primer orden. <\/p>\n<p>Muchos han optado por achacarle las fallas de la pol\u00edtica exterior colombiana al Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores, a quien acusan de no tener experiencia en la materia. Otros han resaltado que el problema obedece a que el servicio diplom\u00e1tico se ha convertido en un bot\u00edn clientelista, con el cual se aceitan las alianzas y se recompensan los apoyos. <\/p>\n<p>El problema va m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la capacidad del Ministro y de la evidente clientelizaci\u00f3n del Ministerio. Por una parte, nuestra diplomacia no le presta a los pa\u00edses de la regi\u00f3n toda la atenci\u00f3n que requieren &#8211; y merecen. Y, por la otra, porque el Estado colombiano, con el Presidente Uribe a la cabeza, enfoca el problema de las Farc desde la perspectiva de la lucha mundial contra el terrorismo, sin una pol\u00edtica adecuada para Am\u00e9rica Latina. <\/p>\n<p>Es verdad que en Estados Unidos y en Europa la f\u00f3rmula ha sido exitosa. Prueba de ello es que las Farc hayan sido calificadas como organizaciones terroristas, una decisi\u00f3n que, por lo visto, las ha afectado. Pero muchos pa\u00edses latinoamericanos desconf\u00edan profundamente de la campa\u00f1a global antiterrorista, la cual ven como un instrumento al servicio de los intereses de los Estados Unidos. Por eso, no es efectiva en la regi\u00f3n la ret\u00f3rica del antiterrorismo utilizada por la diplomacia colombiana. <\/p>\n<p>De all\u00ed que sea fundamental cambiar la estrategia para Am\u00e9rica Latina. Y en realidad no parece tan dif\u00edcil. Es suficiente con presentar el c\u00famulo de cr\u00edmenes de guerra y de lesa humanidad que vienen cometiendo las Farc desde hace tanto tiempo, y del cual han sido v\u00edctimas tantos colombianos. De lo que se trata es de demostrar que, lejos de su discurso de liberaci\u00f3n social, las Farc se han convertido en victimarias de la poblaci\u00f3n colombiana, al igual que Sendero Luminoso en Per\u00fa, o muchos movimientos guerrilleros en \u00c1frica. En Colombia, como en los otros casos, el remedio ha empeorado la enfermedad. <\/p>\n<p>Seguramente esta estrategia se encontrar\u00e1 con la objeci\u00f3n de que las atrocidades cometidas por los grupos paramilitares son incluso peores y que ello se agrava con las m\u00faltiples pruebas existentes de los nexos de estos grupos con muchos pol\u00edticos, empresarios y miembros de las Fuerzas Armadas. Por eso es muy importante que el Estado colombiano demuestre que combate con igual determinaci\u00f3n a la guerrilla, y a los grupos paramilitares, sus auspiciadores y colaboradores. <\/p>\n<p>Algunos podr\u00e1n decir tambi\u00e9n que el nuevo discurso tampoco ser\u00eda de mucha utilidad, porque los gobernantes de algunos pa\u00edses de la regi\u00f3n simpatizan con las Farc y har\u00e1n caso omiso de las denuncias sobre sus cr\u00edmenes. Esto puede contener algo de verdad. Pero la campa\u00f1a colombiana no debe centrarse exclusivamente en los funcionarios de los pa\u00edses vecinos, sino que tambi\u00e9n debe dirigirse a los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n, los partidos, la academia y las organizaciones de la sociedad civil. As\u00ed se generar\u00eda presi\u00f3n ciudadana sobre los gobiernos, con el fin de terminar con la tolerancia o la complicidad con las actividades de las Farc. <\/p>\n<p>En fin, Colombia tiene que repensar su manera de abordar a los pa\u00edses latinoamericanos con al problema de las Farc. Si queremos que el horror que hemos vivido sea atendido, es preciso adaptar el discurso a las realidades de la regi\u00f3n. De lo contrario, seguiremos extra\u00f1\u00e1ndonos de las actitudes de nuestros vecinos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As many Latin-Americans see the global antiterrorist campaign as an instrument of service to the United States, is not effective in the region of antiterrorism used by Colombia.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","medium-semana-en","post-scope-aaa-not-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What happened to Colombian diplomacy in this region?
