paolo, thank you for this!! you’re a really great colombian and thank you for informing us even a little bit more :) this is what makes tumblr and social networks so great. im definitely going to read more about colombian history
A really missed a lot of details because is pretty long, but I recommend you some documentaries, I always cry with documentaries of colombian history, cause is so sad with death. And thanks for reading my post at least someone did it :)
Perdón si me ofendo, pero es que estas hablando de mi país sin ni siquiera conocer nuestra historia, la historia colombiana es muy complicada, pero mas que todo muy triste, pero aquí estamos sobreviviendo como pueblo, luchando por nuestra patria amada. Que si me siento orgullosa de mi país? Pues claro, a pesar de todo lo malo, Colombia tiene mejores cosas, solo por que unos políticos corruptos, unas cuantas personas que están enfiladas en la guerrilla y el narcotráfico no hace que un pueblo entero sea malo.
27 dresses;
“That day, I woke up and put on my 28th dress. I went to a wedding where no one asked me to hold the bouquet, fold a place card or hold their dress while they peed. Everything was perfect & I didn’t care because right then, the only thing that mattered was the person waiting for me at the end of the aisle & he was looking at me the way I’d always hoped.”
I’m colombian and I know our history, is pretty sad btw, you only know horrible things of the drugs of here, but you don’t really know whole story. So here I going to tell you: In Colombia we have in the started of our history as a nation (1800’s) ”el partido liberal” and ”el partido conservador” over years and year always have been hegemonies (I’m talking of that time) so if the ”partido conservador” was in the power they sent ”hate” messages for society of the ”partido liberal” and was like that when the partido liberal was in the power.But the shit got really serious and people started to kill just for being liberal or conservador, yes we can call it civil war if you want it but it wasn’t for many historians a civil war, then in 1948 Jorge Elicer Gaitan was killed (no ones really know who killed him) but a civil war burst, and people started to kill horribly for being liberal or conservador (I’m not stoping on details).In the 1950’s ”los conservadores” were in the power, but they didn’t allow to the ”liberales” to participate in the political life of the country, so much of the guerrillas born (but this guerrillas are some the guerrillas are now, but a lot of political ideology has changed but I can say that the actual guerrillas don’t have an ideology, they just kill people, and kidnap people). In the 60’s the cultivation of marijuana started principally in the sierra nevada, and a lot of people were required to cultivate marijuana for the rebel groups. Well in the 80’s the drug traffic was horrible, Pablo Escobar placed bumbs in the cities principally in Medellin and Bogota, he declared the war to the colombian state after he was quick out of the congress, but he was in jail, but you know, the jail was practically his house, and then he escaped of the jail walking but nobody stopped him because everyone feared him. In the 80’s a lot of presidential candidates were killed by the ”narcos”. In the 90’s the ”paramilitarismo” appeared in the national picture, and this illegal groups tried to exterminate the guerrillas and consolidate the drug bussiness, also a political of leftist groups were exterminate by rightists because they didn’t tolerate people that critiscism. And Pablo Escobar died in 1993 killed by the police,Well I missed a lot of information but this is the basic.
