Las distorsionadas percepciones
del conflicto colombiano
Colombia Journal () Distorted
Perceptions of Colombia’s Conflict
In a civil conflict such as the one in Colombia, propaganda is an important weapon.
It is difficult for journalists and analysts to independently investigate the
reality on the ground and so statistics and information are obtained from a
variety of sources in order to draw conclusions. However, the mainstream
media in the United States is often over-reliant on two sources: Colombian
and US government officials. Not surprisingly then, it is the perspectives of
the Colombian and US governments that inevitably dominate most news reports.
By comparing conflict trends and human rights statistics with media coverage
of Colombia’s violence, it is possible to understand why and how the public’s
perception of the conflict has been distorted. ver>>
Interpol rechazó la solicitud de
inclusión de la orden de captura contra el ministro Santos
BBC Mundo (UK) Interpol "rechaza" orden
contra Santos
La organización internacional de policía, Interpol, denegó la petición que
había emitido un juez ecuatoriano en la que se acusaba al ex ministro de
Defensa de Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos, de guardar relación con el bombardeo
de un campamento de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) en
territorio ecuatoriano en marzo de 2008.
En aquella ocasión, 25 rebeldes murieron a consecuencia del ataque aéreo
colombiano, incluido el número dos de las FARC, Raúl Reyes, y un ciudadano
ecuatoriano.
La petición a la Interpol
suponía un paso más en la tensa relación diplomática que desde entonces
mantienen Ecuador y Colombia. ver>>
