Little before my leaving, the army did begin to deploy its "effectives" (people or things? Or is the same thing for them?). The Venezuelan government did demand it like a necessity, in front of the guerrilla attack to the Guard in the Vichada frontier. When that attack occurred, in Inírida stopped the Colombian tv signal. Only the Peruvian was received, and in that time it didn't make anything else but laud their fallen heroes when facing the "evil Ecuadorian enemy". Meanwhile, the iniridenses said on the Venezuelan militaries "yes, kill them, kill them all"! It Seemed to have a consent among all, colonists and indigenous, that the Guard mess a lot. According to them they mistreat everybody who they can.
It is given the case of a river that it crosses the imaginary line and then it returns to Colombian territory. The line follows the whims of who traced it and not the necessities of the inhabitants of the area: it makes an angle and it cuts the waters as if they were a cake. For those who have to cross it the river is only one, not two countries. The Guard stops in their side and they imprison and mistreat those that dare to cross it.
The two countries don't share the same approaches to administer and each group finds hard to understand the madness of the other one. The Venezuelan television doesn't enter in Guainía. Why does it the Peruvian indeed? Such a communication mean would help to understand why the Venezuelans make the decisions that take, to compare the two versions and to take a more serene position. It cannot apologize with which the Peruvian arrives for satellite and the Venezuelan does not, because the departamento takes the signal by antenna and they rebroadcast it to some kilometers around Inírida. It is a question of political will. The two peoples are hit and they don't know each other. They make the decisions as if they were in Bogotá or in Caracas and they feel like a personal injustice what is obligatory for the other one.
Neither his own people understand the Guard and the Venezuelan government, his Colombian homonyms don't lag behind. I felt that the situation between Perú and Ecuador was pushing their neighbors to follow the bad example. To converse with the weapon in the shoulder is as not wanting to converse completely and that our governments do. It is to tell you that I am your friend, your good neighbor, but I take my weapon, you never knows...
