You forget to mention that on the 80's Farc's main financing came from 'securing' cocaine plantations and processing laboratories but suddenly, when Pablo Escobar died on the early 90's they had to fin another income sources so they kidnapped more than 5.000 people (almost half of them woman and children as young as 2 years) solely to get money from their relatives. The other economic decision they made was to take over all the drug business (plantations, laboratories, transport and distribution in Europe).

En Europa se encuentran la mayor parte de los complices del terror de mi Colombia. mutilados, secuestrados son estos mas de 3000 quienes se encuentran por mas de 4 años en cautiverio, destrucción del Amazonas. financian a las farc con el consumo de la coca y el apoyo a su falso ideal. Como queremos llegar a la paz en Colombia si estos terroristas encuentra eco en Europa, en especial en sus jóvenes. Les convence tener una aventura al estilo Robin Hood y en realidad solo participan en narcotrafico conllevando con esta actividad el asesinato de civiles en especial niños.

It's a shame that European countries allow the free advertising of this guerrilla group - when they are a known 'narco-terrorist' enterprise. Us Colombians do not support this group as a majority. STOP the support of assasins such as FARC.
