The “Aguilas Negras,” which appears to be tied to Colombia’s security forces, sent out a death threat to so many people it barely fits on one paper.
The death threat again included Bogota Mayor Claudia Lopez, victims organization and countless social leaders, and this time added the country’s ombudsman, all of whom allegedly are “camouflaged guerrillas and militia members doing counterintelligence” that seek to “destabilize and gain power.”
Aguilas Negras
Human rights attorney Alirio Uribe, who defends a woman who was murdered by the military, asked President Ivan Duque to “stop the persecution” not even doubting the military was behind the death threat.
“How curious, the army’s ‘opposition’ list looks like the military objectives of the ‘Aguilas Negras’,” Political scientist Sebastian Quiroga noted in reference to a National Army social media watch list accidentally made public earlier this week.
“The government has the State’s intelligence systems at the service of the Democratic Center [party of President Ivan Duque] and the mafia,” said opposition Senator Wilson Arias.
Everybody in Colombia can guess who the Aguilas Negras are, except the Aguilas Negras
Others on Twitter took to ridiculing the presumed Military Intelligence threat a bit further.
“Coronavirus”
Much of the scorn was due to Military Intelligence’s apparent lack of intelligence and its writing skills of a 15-year-old.
Nevertheless, social organizations from rural parts of the country who have suffered the assassinations of countless of their members reiterated the terror imposed on them.
