The Colombian Army announced on Sunday that 45 military officials were kidnapped during a security operation in a known drug trafficking route in the Department (state) of Cauca. The kidnappers were over 600 individuals from communities “in collusion” with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) Marxist terrorist group.
A statement from the Colombian Army said the 45 officials were kidnapped on Sunday afternoon while conducting a military operation at the Micay Canyon, a river in the Western Colombian department of Cauca that drains into the Pacific Ocean.
The military operation was aimed at securing control of routes used for drug trafficking and illegal mining near the municipality of El Tambo. Noticias Caracol described the Micay Canyon on Sunday as a strategic route for controlling illicit crops and northbound drug trafficking. Past reports from international outlets indicate that semi-submersibles loaded with cocaine usually depart from the canyon for the coasts of Central American countries.

The FARC was one of two communist guerilla groups in Colombia when I was there. I had some interaction with their members. They called me a lot of nasty things but I had made a point to never learn those words so was able to smile and say Dios les bendiga. Fortunately for me FARC wasn't as blood thirsty in the 70s as they are now. When I and those with me needed to hide or change routes during travel, the Lord provided.
