Viciousness additionally turned into an industry in the republic beginning with espresso inconveniences and prompting progressive guerrillas and the FARC. This prompted lack of respect for the law.

    Farc Alvaro Uribe Analysis

    Colombia has been in turmoil with the Marxist-Leninist group called FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia) for almost fifty years. However, since 2002 with the election of Alvaro Uribe things have begun to change. Alvaro Uribe’s policy of “Democratic Security” or “get tough” agenda that involves aggressive action against the FARC economically, judicially, and militarily, has strongly worked in weakening the FARC and bring Colombia closer and closer to peace. However, Alvaro Uribe has been criticized internationally for being a murderer, thief and an advocate for paramilitary activity. This paper will prove that Alvaro Uribe’s policies are more effective in comparing them to past presidential attempts in negotiation as well as prove that Uribe’s actions are justified in pursuit to fulfill his responsibility as president to protect his people.…

    Blood Bananas

    There are a number of different root causes for Chiquita’s actions in Columbia that ultimately led to their conviction. One critical root cause was the unstable political environment that had been present in Columbia over the past six decades. While, Chiquita’s banana operations in Colombia pre-date the most recent surge of violence, beginning with its infamous predecessor, United Fruit Company, over a century ago it is this resurgence that has caused major issues for Chiquita that led to their conviction. Columbia has been constantly fought over by various paramilitary groups ever since the 1948 assassination of populist leader Jorge Eliecer Gaitan triggered La Violencia. (Schotter p. 7) Groups such as the FARC and ELN are insurgent guerrilla militia groups that have been fighting with and against each other for the better half of a century over land, resources, money, political power and overall control of Columbia. “Since the 1980s, the business of bananas in Colombia has been punctuated by gunfire.” (Schotter p. 6) Various militant groups, most recently the AUC, traditionally forced anyone under…

    Drug Trafficking In Colombia

    Mexico began to be the new base for Colombian drug dealers. A new battle for power started, and the volume of murders in Mexico has increased very rapidly.” Most of the cocaine leaves the country by sea, on fast boats that transport the drugs up along the Central American coast for their eventual smuggling into the United States overland through Mexico”. (Colombia announces record, 2007) Despite the old economic ties that Colombians and Mexicans had in the past as boarder neighbors, when money and power are in the middle; neighbors are seen as rivals and enemies. The problem is worse when the only victims are the common people, and their only fault is walking in the street near to a criminal. This is why for many years Colombia has had many kinds campaigns to reduce the consumption of drugs, and so eliminate the murders. In Colombia, not only the police work for this goal, but also the people who always say no to the drugs. That is another reason why the traffickers moved to Mexico. Drug trafficking is a problem that effects many countries especially Colombia for the murders criminal rate and the United State of America for the consumption. “Operation Steady State is jointly inaugurated by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) with local authorities in Peru and…

    Freedom Of Speech In America

    I am not the most patriotic person, but I love America and there are multiple Americans older, more mature and more wise than I am who take their time in appreciating and supporting America and the people who fight for our freedom. The people who support our troops overseas are of course gonna support them when they come home and not leave them homeless or without healthcare; that would be absurd. Not only are they going to bolster and salute the white male soldiers, they are going to do the same for women soldiers, gay soldiers, black soldiers, and other ethnicities other than caucasian because discrimination doesn’t exist in America only freedom does. However, there are many hypocrites such as the NFL players who are disrespecting our troops…

    How Did The Medellin Cartel Influenced The Columbian Society?

    Medellin cartel negatively influenced Colombia in the export sectors to the point where Colombian economists have compared the large influx of drug capital to the “Dutch disease”, which is the negative impact on an economy of anything that gives rise to a sharp inflow of foreign currency, such as the discovery of large oil reserves or drugs in this case. The currency inflows lead to currency appreciation, making the country's other products less price competitive on the export market. (Source A) Under Pablo Escobar large amounts of coca paste were purchased (Source c). The drug sector employed about 6% of the agricultural population but it was a short term mirage. The long term effect was when a total decline of more than 6% in agricultural employment opportunities occurred which affected the economy as more people were unemployed. Most people who did not want to engage in illegal farming were faced forced displacements thus leaving them with a few options but when the government managed to ban illegal farming as coca plants were sprayed in an effort to kill the production however the chemical used made it difficult for other legal crops to grow after it had been applied (Source D) thus affecting the agricultural sector of Colombia. The drug war in Columbia had a negative impact on the economy and its impact made it harder for Columbia to recover even after…

    Chiquita in Columbia

    In 1997, executives at Chiquita Brands Banadex were faced with a very serious ethical dilemma, which would severely impact the future of the company. The executives were confronted by the leader of one of the most powerful terrorist groups in the state of Columbia and the company had a significant choice to make; Chiquita could pay the terrorist group a penny for every dollar of bananas exported in return for the safety of their employees or they could refuse the arrangement and their employees would live in fear of the relentless violence and dangers that characterized the region. Even graver, the leader of the group, Carlos Castano threatened to personally harm the employees, as they had done in the past. The terrorist group, known as the Autodefensas Unidas de Columbia, coined “AUC” for short, was deemed to be responsible for some of the worst massacres that the country had ever seen and was also an influential member of the drug trade in the region. The AUC’s success in dominating the region could be largely attributed to the fact that they had many followers and were estimated to have approximately 15,000 to 20,000 troops. Thus, in many cases these groups outnumbered government-deployed units and used brutality and drugs to hedge their influence.…
