Ecuador: ARMED FORCES, CRIMINALS. THEY TOOK THEM ALIVE! WE WANT THEM ALIVE!
We hereby publish an unofficial translation of an article by the FDLP-Ecuador:
Four children, aged between 10 and 15, were kidnapped, beaten, humiliated and disappeared by a military patrol of the Ecuadorian Air Force.
This does not surprise us or draw our attention, because these are events that occur daily in the country.
The old power of the big bourgeoisie and the big landlords is supported by two strongly cohesive pillars: the Armed Forces, the National Police and other paramilitary groups, on the one hand, and their entire bureaucratic apparatus, on the other. It must be clearly said: these two structures are rotten and corroded. Contrary to what the bourgeois press says, they are not infiltrated by drug trafficking; it is drug trafficking and terrorism!
From generals of the Armed Forces and the Police to the troops, they have been identified as members of criminal gangs of various kinds. They have become hitmen, executioners and killers in uniform. Today, they represent the clearest and most forceful expression of the bankruptcy of bureaucratic capitalism.
The Ecuadorian Armed Forces are bastard children of the United States: servile, repressive and criminal, without honor or dignity. Lately, they feed on Zionist tactics and strategies, replicating their methods. They kidnap, commit selective assassinations, dynamite the homes of their victims and criminalize poverty. They humiliate and degrade their detainees. They use uniforms and weapons of Zionist origin, and there are many who receive salaries directly from institutions such as the CIA or the DEA. The recently declassified chats from a cell phone of the bandit Villavicencio prove this; even more, the statements of Arauz, former Police Commander and current presidential candidate, confirm that members of the Police receive “extra salaries” from security agencies of the United States.
In the case of these young men, arrested at the beginning of this month, it became clear how they take children and adolescents prisoner. They put them in a van, beat them mercilessly, punch them in the head and face, and even stomp on their heads. They are miserable!
Initially, the Armed Forces denied that military contingents had captured the children; however, security videos showed the opposite. They later “corrected” the information and admitted that, after beating them, stripping them and humiliating them, they released them late at night, several kilometers from their base in Taura.
The big bourgeoisie is becoming more and more radical. We are facing regimes that are deepening the reactionary character of the old State. Noboa is an absolute fascist; as our people say, he “wipes himself” with the Constitution, the laws and international regulations. He does not care about keeping the country in a state of war as long as he can sell the idea that he controls crime.
His Defense Minister, Gian Carlo Loffredo, a shadowy figure linked to the Mossad and Israel, is directly responsible for this situation. Before taking over the Ministry of Defense, he was a weapons instructor, owner of a shooting camp in Guayaquil called “Tactic Israeli” and in charge of the security of Noboa’s family. He must be directly responsible for the disappearance and possible death of these children.
In the midst of this scenario, our people suffer violence, poverty, hunger and unemployment. Meanwhile, the merchants of dreams, but also of death, continue their electoral dance.
THEY TOOK THEM ALIVE, WE WANT THEM ALIVE!
THE ARMED FORCES COMMITTED AN EXECRABLE ACT, THEY MUST PAY BEFORE THE ECUADORIAN PEOPLE.
ORGANIZE, COMBAT AND RESIST!
ONLY BY STRUGGLE CAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS BE WON.
