Colombia Risk Map SECURITY ANALYSIS Statistics (Click here to show and click here to hide) Analysis (Click here to show and click here to hide) (To visualize the alert state, Click here to show and Click here to hide) STATISTICS Security analysis and projections: The most significant events in the past week focused on: End of Cycle 33 - Ready to redact Agreement about Victims of the Conflict, this cycle was characterized by international participation and agreement pronouncement on the issue of demining. ELN released in the town of Convention, Norte de Santander, four geologists whom they had kidnapped since last February 12, while they were doing their duties. Government and indigenous, pending an agreement, conflict lies in the claims of the Nasa community, which has requested 20,000 hectares, 15,000 for repairing the slaughter of the Nile and 5,000 for other promises the National governmen had failed in past years. Notice of strikes and protests nationwide including farmers, Truck Drivers, Unions among others. Analysis With the demining agreement, achieved in the last round of talks in Havana (Cuba), and the announcement of the President Juan Manuel Santos, about suspending the bombing of FARC's camps for one month, as a gesture to de-escalate the conflict in the country, it could be said that an agreement of a bilateral ceasefire is not so far, which means the end of the conflict. On the subject of demining, Colombia would invest $ 300 million of dollars to clean the territory of landmines, the experimental demining program around different regions of the country would start in the departments of Meta, Antioquia, Arauca, Norte de Santander (Catatumbo ) and this investment would be made for a period of approximately 10 years in equipping 10.000 to 12.000 men who will be in this “demining" in almost all departments, without discarding of having to prepare guerrillas to join this process. This will be done under the supervision of a team of two members of the government, two of the FARC and two representatives from the affected communities. In the last 25 years the mines have left 11,060 victims, 2,210 died. Among those affected, injured or dead-- there were 1,111 children, according to official data. On the issue of bombing cessation to FARC's camps, opinions are divided nationally, while some are in favor because they consider it responds to the reduction of war in the country and trust between the FARC and the Government, other argue that this could strengthen the FARC even more and it does not have impact on the peace process. These decisions without making an agreement might endanger civilians where territorial control belongs to the FARC. Similarly, the "Advisory Commission of Peace" was created which includes: Vera Grabe, former member of the M-19, Julio Roberto Gomez, president of the General Confederation of Labour, the former mayor of Bogotá, Antanas Mockus, Clara López Obregón, Mayor candidate of Bogotá, Former President Andres Pastrana Arango, among others. As this occurs with the FARC, the ELN intensifies its attacks and kidnappings since last year "in order to appear strong in a peace process". Where if a deal with the government is reached, one of the issues on the agenda of negotiations will be the model of mining and hydrocarbons which they are historically opposed ". Projections 03/16/15 The main unions of the cab drivers called a national strike to demand the regulation of illegal transport and the decree that organizes the drivers' social security. 03/19/15 The oil workers in the country will join the 24-hour strike called by the Worker Union (USO). From that moment the protests could start, which unleash the announced national strike oil due to the crisis in the sector. 03/11/15 The truck drivers' strike continuous, it has lasted for three weeks and according to official data it has left about $ 88,000 million pesos of losses. It is possible to see farmers supporting the strike of taxi drivers and truck loading drivers, Cesar Pachon, representative of farmers, said he will advance meetings with the several unions to find points of agreement.
