[edit] Camilista Union
I've noticed that a number of international organizations, especially Human Rights Watch, refer to the ELN as the "Unión Camilista." However, the ELN's webpage seems to never refer to themselves like that. Can anyone explain? --Descendall 03:12, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Wow. This page is completly biased against the ELN! It says nothing about the social conditions (exploitation, political killings, torture, unemployment etc...)that has given rise to, and continues to sustain, the organisation.
Again, there are many statements on this page which call ELN 'terrorist,' but I cant find any that call the Colombian state, and their financial backers in Washington, France and the UK, as the real terrorists, for their continued campaign agaisnt those Colombians who are sick an tired of being a neo-colony of Imperialism.
The page needs to be re written! _______________________________________________________________________________________________
Uh Buddy, they are terrorist. That doesn't meant there isn't a cause for their actions, Colombia has alot of social and economic problems. But just becuase you sympathize with them doesnt mean they arn't terrorist, why don't you try Getting in the shoes of those captured and tortured for nearly a decade if not more. Tell me those people did not feel terror, instead of becoming a revolutionary group that actually brought about positive change they kidnap people for money. And not just kidnap, its not a smooth 8 years for those people, thay are killed maimed, Raped, and abused in so many horrible ways. Those poor people are kept in the jungle with out medicine to die of sicknesses assosiated with the horrible conditions they are in.
My Point is they are exteamist, though they may have started out with good intentions. And they do nothing but cuase pain, how have they socially or economically helped Colombia? By involving themselves with the drug trade which only serves to further corrupt the govenment? By kidnaping future presidents that really really wanted to make change?
No I have no pitty for them or the bad reputation that they have given themselves, Their Ideals were not maintained and they simply became and wreckless and selfish as the govenment they hate. All the while the Colombian civilian lives in fear. A fear of taking a step forward to a brighter future because it would make you a target.
I thought this page was well written, it did not specify why the group came about, however they did go easy on them. Those people have no right to hurt so many in such a grea way, they should be so luck to get a report that doesnt mention all of the sick things they have done.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Elnlogo.PNG
Image:Elnlogo.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
