The pretext now are the supposed attacks against indigenous and Afro- Colombian organizations, in particular against the Regional Indigenous Council of the Cauca (CRIC). The political struggle we are carrying out to build the society we merit and for which the national majorities are fighting in various manners, contains and makes its own the demands of those who would identify themselves as minorities, ethnicities and by gender. In fact our organization reflects the national spectrum and receives important support from all social sectors. It is not possible to separate the indigenous, black and women's struggles from the national and class struggle, which continues to be the prime mover of history. But belonging to a minority is not a license for a person to act against popular interests. The war from which our people have been suffering for more than 50 years is the result of the violence imposed by the state and its various governments in response to the dictate of U.S. imperialism. We are exercising our legitimate right to rebellion and to self-determination as a people. The solidarity of the world's peoples includes their right to inform themselves about our reality and thus have the necessary elements to make their own judgments. We denounce these kinds of manoeuvres, which prepare the way for and make possible the dirty war, as being disloyal and serving the interests of the enemies of our people.
