Faced with the inaction of the Chavez regime, guerrillas and paramilitaries in Colombia wage a bloody battle on Venezuelan territory

The war between paramilitaries and guerrillas has reached the border area of San Antonio and Ureña (in Venezuela) and Norte de Santander (in Colombia) and in the last days he has caused several dead and woundedwhile the terrified population can only remain silent. Both groups have been actors of several armed clashes in broad daylight and for control of territory in the smuggling industry. Repeatedly, the shooting occurred in the near the Simon Bolivar International Bridge.

At the end of January 2019, the Colombian Autodefensas Fronterizas distributed a statement on the Venezuelan border, warning that, from the 30th of this month, they would do the "cleaning", as they call it murder drug traffickers, guerrillas, thieves, collectives, informants and anyone breaking the peace to the cities of Villa del Rosario, La Parada and Juan Frío, of the Colombian territory.

This is not one of the frequent threats of irregular groups in the area. In addition, at the time, Venezuela had much hope with the recent announcement of Juan Guaidó to badume the interim presidency of Venezuela. And in the weeks that followed, the situation was already tense with the preparation of the entry of humanitarian aid into the country.

But how the most powerful industry that moves to the border is smuggling (fuel, food, drugs, drugs and people, children, women and youth), irregular groups do not neglect it.

That's how one meter that the guerrillas advance on the territory, it is a meter that the paramilitaries try to save and vice versa, which is between threats, weapons, money, extortion, murders, etc.

Under the pretext of not allowing "the foreign plant violates the fatherland", on the part of the government party and under the eyes of the armed forces, has come a considerable number of "collectives" and guerrillas, that after having pbaded the tension of February 23 and not allowing the entrance of humanitarian aid, They occupied the tracks on all the Venezuelan territory to recover from San Antonio and Ureña the pbadage in Colombia..

In mid-April, thanks to a recorded message, a supposed commander (a) Car & Egato made threats against ELN and a group of people. "With the honor and dignity of a great cleaning day against the ELN group of Carlos German Velasco Villamizar, we also include merchant collaborators, motorcycle taxi drivers and pirates. who are toads who collaborate with this guerrilla group ", warning that from the beginning" the household ".

They point out that the National Liberation Army (ELN) "was funded by the Cartel del Sol, that it comes to the Government of Venezuela and that they think that here (in Colombia ), it's the same as "in Venezuela", so they tell them that if they want war they will have.

Warns that they will fight for their territory at any cost. "If they want lead, they're going to have"He says at the same time that he insists that they are going to bomb and hire killers, and then he mentions a list of people by his pseudonyms.

The war has begun. Police and military authorities do not intervene, nor even say, while the two Colombian groups are fighting over Venezuelan territory.
