45. Washington Colombia Z At one point, Garcia Marquez described the event in Colombian history in which hundreds of striking United Fruit workers were massacred in the town of Cienega in 1928. http://thirdworldtraveler.com/US_ThirdWorld/WashColombia_Z.html

Washington's Role in Colombian Repression The myth and the reality by Matthew Knoester Z magazine, January 1998 The Macondo Garcia Marquez describes is a spiraling history of his native Colombia. Macondo reveals an official Colombian history, surrounded by a whirlwind of myth. The official history becomes "magic." It erases the government repression in Colombia from history, just as Bogota daily newspapers misname those who are at fault for daily homicides, disappearances, and the hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Colombia. Today Colombia suffers from the worst human rights record in the hemisphere. Throughout the century, myths about Colombia have endured with rhetoric about the oldest functioning "democracy" in Latin America, a booming economy for the Colombian people, and perhaps a slight problem with drug trafficking which requires military assistance from the United States. But in Macondo, official history is myth, only human dreams are real. Let us take a look at today's "mere dreams" in Macondo, which happen to be documented in the U.S. State Department's Human Rights Report of 1997, among other places. Since 1986 more Colombians have been killed at the hands of the military and their "paramilitary" allies each year than throughout the entire 17 years of political repression in Chile under the Pinochet dictatorship. Father Javier Giraldo, the Jesuit director of the Intercongregational Commission of Justice and Peace in Bogota, estimates that the military and paramilitary are responsible for 70 percent of the killings in Colombia. This amounts to over 14,000 people since 1986, if Amnesty International's figures are correct. And, as is well documented, even by the U.S. State Department's Human Rights Report of 1997, the impunity rate in Colombia rests between 97-99.5 percent.

Colombian History Figure 1.Colombian history like that of other New orld countries begins with Native Americans. Latin Americans use the term "indigenous people". Large numbers perished as a resukt of the Spanish conquests, mistreatment, and exploitation. Even more devestation was their lack of resistance to European diseaases carried by the Spanish. The two major Native America cultural groups in northwestern South America were the Chibcha and the Carib. These Motilón Barí are descendents of the Carib people. They are protesting Colombian Govenment policies and encroachments on their territory. They staged the protest in the town of Cúcuta (October 12, 2008). Native Americans The arrival of the Spanish cut short the further development and centralization of the Chibcha. The Spanish crushed the Chibcha militarily and by the 18th century the Chibcha language disappeared. There were many other more primitive tribes along the Caribbean and Pacific coasts and in the Amazonian basin east of the Andes. These people were different Carib tribes. Spanish Conquest Rodrigo de Bastidas was the first European to sail along the coast of Colombia (1500-01). He sailed along the Caribbean coast from the Cape of La Vela to Point Manzanilla in what is now Panama. A settlement on the Cribbean coast of the Gulf of Uraba (1510) but was abandoned after a few years. The Spanish were at first drawn south to Peru and the wealth of the Aztec Empire. Francisco Pizarro ventured south along the Pacific coast on his way to conquering
