SUBJECT: WORLDWIDE MARCHES AGAINST THE FARC PLANNED FOR 
FEBRUARY 4 
 
 
1. (U) Summary:  A non-partisan Colombian student group is 
organizing marches against kidnapping and the FARC in 148 
cities around the world on February 4.  The students are 
using the web-site Facebook to organize the events, and the 
initiative enjoys widespread popular support,  Still, the 
opposition Polo Democratico Alternativo (Polo) Party has 
criticized the marches, claiming they will spark political 
polarization and favor President Uribe.  The Polo will 
organize a separate gathering against kidnappings and the war 
on the same day in Bogota.  Participants have decided against 
holding marches in Caqueta and Huila--departments where the 
FARC remains active--due to fear of FARC reprisals.  End 
Summary. 
 
MARCH AGAINST THE FARC 
---------------------- 
 
2. (U) Colombian students around the world created the group 
'Colombia Soy Yo' to garner support and members for their 
initiative against violence, kidnapping and the FARC.  Using 
Facebook, they created the event 'A Million Voices Against 
the FARC' to organize marches against the FARC around the 
world on February 4.  A separate web-site is translated into 
ten languages.  The students are organizing marches in 148 
cities on four continents, including 30 in Colombia. 
Organizers are selling t-shirts with the logo "No More! No 
More Kidnapping! No More Lies! No More Murder! No More FARC!" 
 The initiative has attracted widespread popular support in 
Colombia, where polls show 98% of the population opposes the 
terrorist group. 
 
3. (U) The student group is non-partisan, but is receiving 
support from many Colombian political parties and 
communities.  An organizer in Bucaramangara said, "We started 
with a snowball, and with each day the movement has grown 
into an avalanche.  The people have responded, because they 
are tired of FARC violence."  In Colombia, marches are 
planned in all major cities.  In many locations, local 
mayors, such as the Medellin Mayor Alonso Salazar, support 
the initiative.  In Barranquilla, the march will be led by 
the Queen of Carnaval. 
 
CRITICISM AGAINST THE MARCH 
--------------------------- 
 
4. (U) The march has rekindled internal divisions within the 
opposition Polo Party over the appropriate stance toward the 
FARC.  After extensive internal debate, Polo President Carlos 
Gaviria announced on January 30 that his party would not 
participate in the marches but would instead gather in the 
Plaza de Bolivar to advocate a humanitarian accord and voice 
opposition to the war. The United Workers Federation (CUT), 
teachers federation (Fecode), several family members of 
hostages, and Polo Bogota Mayor Samuel Moreno will 
participate.  Polo Congressman Wilson Borja explained that 
"when you march against the FARC, you are marching in favor 
of Uribe. Both are militarists."  Polo Senator Gustavo Petro 
criticized the decision, and said he would participate in the 
march. 
 
5. (U) Other critics, such as El Tiempo op-ed writer and 
Uribe biographer Maria Jimena Duzan, argued that the marches 
will contribute to political polarization and jeopardize 
efforts to reach agreement on a humanitarian exchange. Duzan 
voiced concern that President Uribe and his supporters will 
co-opt the marches to promote a "false sense of nationalism" 
against the FARC and build support for a second reelection 
attempt  Other critics complained the marches only oppose the 
FARC and do not address crimes by the paramilitaries. Still, 
Duzan said she would participate. 
 
SECURITY REMAINS A CONCERN 
-------------------------- 
 
6. (U) Fear of retaliation remains a concern in departments 
where the FARC remains active.  Families of hostages, civil 
society groups, and local authorities in Caqueta and Huila 
departments voiced concern that the FARC will use violence in 
communities taking part in the marches.  A mayor in Huila 
said there is no need to "rock the boat and start declaring 
war on everyone."  Similarly, the Governor of Huila stated 
that he will support such "initiatives of the people," but 
 
cautioned that the government will not help organize them.
