By: Antonio García, Primer Comandante of the ELN
It became fashionable for alleged peace negotiators such as Araña and now HH to be requested for extradition by U.S. Courts, accused of exporting cocaine. Reports say that in those latitudes, since 2019 it was already known that HH was sending cocaine in respectable quantities. The Supreme Court of Justice has already given its approval to this request.
To put it in context, we must go back to what happened in July 2017. In that year, the ELN’s National Directorate decided to send Commander Alexander, a member of the DN, to the south of the country to continue redirecting several incorrect practices in the structures of Nariño. It did not last 6 months, as he died in an alleged military operation on July 9, where curiously only he died. The undercover agents guided the Army to where he was camping and pointed it out so that the sniper could shoot him dead. There, next to him was Jairo one of the infiltrators, he saw him fall and received the last orders, today third in command, under the tutelage of HH and Juan Carlos.
From that moment on, alarms went off in the ELN, as they began to throw the responsibility on other comrades to distract the focus of attention. HH continued to be “surly” for a while and did not want to move anywhere else. Little by little, he regained confidence as he sent infiltrated agents to other structures, according to a plan drawn up by state intelligence.
The governments of Santos and Duque had not managed to “crown” the strategic objective, to dismiss one or more members of the Central Command; for this reason, at the very beginning of the current government, the star plan against the Central Command was reactivated in form, so that once the “objective was crowned” they could restart the dialogues with a bang, as they did with the ex-FARC. At the end of 2022, in this eagerness to materialize this plan, HH was discovered and had no choice but to take refuge in Nariño. Until that moment there was no political contradiction, HH always showed himself to be “distrustful” of the dialogues with the government and a champion of non-demobilization.
Of course, he had been exposed and could not continue as an “undercover agent”, they had to place him in another plan, where in addition to protecting him, the State activates him in a supposed peace plan with demobilization on board, a real “express” and incidentally make believe that there were fractures in the ELN. What was happening was discussed with the Government Delegation, since they were events in “full development”, they only complied with saying that it was “paranoia of the ELN”. The infiltration plan was macabre, with poisonings of ELN commanders included. Isn’t it a violation of IHL?, and in the middle of a functioning dialogue table. It can perfectly be said that we were dealing with intelligence operations against the ELN, with the purpose of collapsing the peace process. The government delegation did not listen, or rather, let the plan go ahead.
The ELN continued, it ‘swallowed a lot of toads’ to carry out the purposes of peace, but the cascade of breaches of agreements continued, which we are tired of repeating and is not the subject of these lines.
It is already known that the Gang of HH demobilized, and supposedly disarmed, but it is well known that they handed over the most deteriorated weapons and the best quality ended up in the hands of the United Self-Defense Forces of Nariño (AUN), paramilitaries linked to the counterinsurgency plan in the Pacific region of Nariño created previously by HH.
We have said all of the above at the time, but it was said that they were lies or inventions of the ELN, now it appears that HH was identified since 2019 as a narco, but they let him continue operating, how nice!, the gringos knew, or rather, the DEA. Doesn’t the DEA coordinate and guide actions together with the Colombian military and police? Of course.
The three leaders of the HH Gang were “Trojan horses” within the ELN, sent by the DEA and Colombian intelligence to carry out drug trafficking operations, to then pass them off as ELN policy, while also carrying out intelligence operations to assassinate ELN commanders, in short: “multipurpose agents”, like the Dolorán which serves for everything.
And now what next, will he be extradited and sentenced to prison in the United States? No, not at all. The protocols for this type of agent is to take him out of the “hot area”, to cool him down; then, he will have his identity changed to circulate in other DEA intelligence operations.
All the current processes of “peace negotiation” of the Government are carried out with traquetos, narcos and paramilitaries, therefore, it is no coincidence that the President insistently wants to defame the ELN to convince half the world, through lies, that the ELN is also committed to drug trafficking; but no one has been able to show any proof, they are only lies because the ELN has nothing to do with that business.
In the end, the peace policy of this government became a tangled process with drug trafficking and paramilitary gangs. Therefore, the ELN will not be able to participate in that design, another vision and another spirit is needed. The Colombian people and the nation, as well as the peoples of the world, can be certain that the ELN is an authentically revolutionary organization, committed to peace with transformations for the good of society. We will continue to wait for a better opportunity to build peace.
