  • Colombian president asks US to declare Venezuela as sponsor of terrorism

    Bogota, Jul 26 (EFE).- Colombian President Iván Duque asked the United States Monday to declare Venezuela as a terrorism promoter because, according to the president, the ELN guerrillas and FARC dissidents that carried out attacks against a military squad and their helicopter are protected in Venezuelan territories. (Camera: JUAN DIEGO LOPEZ).SHOT LIST: COLOMBIAN PRESIDENT IVAN DUQUE SPEAKS AT A PRESS CONFERENCE IN BOGOTA, COLOMBIA.SOUND BITES: COLOMBIAN PRESIDENT IVAN DUQUE (IN SPANISH).TRANSLATIONS:- The terrorism is a global threat which can be sensed in different moments throughout human history. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the macabre attack on September 11, 2001 (in the United States).- We could say that after that threatening event, the world has come together to react through international security forces, to make sure that such phenomenon is shut down and controlled with all the possible capacities.- Clearly, that consent of the dictatorial regime of Venezuela deserves to be declared, also by the United States, as a country that promotes terrorism. And that declaration should not only aim to reveal their conniving and pernicious relationship, but (should also force them) to choose their path between continuing to support terrorism or hand over terrorism to the authorities of the countries that are looking for it.
