Duque 'not afraid of truth' about Colombia's armed conflict; maybe he should be?
by Adriaan Alsema November 25, 2020
Colombias far-right President Ivan Duques denied fearing the truth about the countrys armed conflict on Tuesday amid mounting evidence he does, and for a very good reason.
The president fiercely responded to former paramilitary leader Salvatore Mancuso, who said Duque fears the truth and is impeding the reconstruction of what happened during the armed conflict.

Bandits and war criminals
According to the president, the former commander of the AUC is a bandit and a war criminal, which has been proven in court.
What Duque is trying to prevent is that Mancuso and other former AUC leaders testify before war crimes tribunal JEP and prove that the president and his political allies are war criminals and scum, as former AUC commander Ramon Isaza called the cousin of former President Alvaro Uribe, a former Medellin Cartel associate and the presidents political patron.
