Praguay: new guerrilla attacks

The Paraguayan People's Army (EPP) stroke again, this time against a ranch of Brazilian landowner Renato Recender, killing four guards and one policeman. The foreman Celso Acosta was retained for hours and later liberated.

The EPP was created in 2005 and has been active ever since.

The government is considering to militarize the area of Tacuatí, in similar fashion as done in the past when the EPP stroke, measures that were totally inefficient but caused many abuses against the civilian population.

Kurdistan: PKK cell kidnaps a Turkish police agent

The massacre of Lice, on Friday 28th, in which Turkish police forces opened live fire against civilian protesters who attempted to impede the construction of a new police station, killing one and injuring many, has not just caused widespread protests in Kurdistan and Turkey proper, but also has triggered an incident that puts in jeopardy the recently initiated "peace process" between the Ankara government and the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).

According to Gara newspaper[es], citing Turkish news agency Dogan:

PKK guerrillas kidnapped a Turkish military police sergeant in Lice hours after the killing of the young Kurd. The guerrillas argued with the gendarme, a member of the special operations unit, and they finally decided to capture him.

The kidnapping seems to be independent of the PKK command structure, which so far has not made any statement in the direction of ending the cease-fire but it illustrates very well how the arrogant stand of Erdogan also in the Kurdish case, building new military sites and ordering to shoot to kill, instead of taking steps to ensure a long-lasting and democratic peace, is undermining all the peace process just weeks after it began. 

In this sense Kurdish MP Sirri Sureyya Önder declared that:

The Government must reconcile itself with the People, not build new military outposts, it must have a true will for peace. This is not the road that will bring us to peace. 

Venezuela: highly suspicious armed group detonates propaganda "bombs"

One of the fireworks

Two small bombs or rather noisy fireworks exploded in Barquisimeto, spreading pamphlets of the so-called Fuerzas Bolivarianas de Liberación (Bolivarian Liberations Forces), with a single message: "we are still in time to save the revolution". 

The mysterious armed group, which issued a video-communication recently, may have existed since 1992, when they operated as a guerrilla, attacking politician Alejandro Ríos, former president Jaime Lusinchi and even designing, it seems, a plan to kill President Carlos Andrés Pérez. 

Since 2002 they declared support for the Bolivarian (PSUV) government, with a tendency to make attacks in the states of Apuré, Barinas and Tachira, in the SW of Venezuela, near the Colombian border. They also made an attack in Maracaibo with a propaganda action similar to the most recent one in which they called for the extermination of the right wing and particularly their leaders.

According to Webguerrillero[es], there are many reasons to suspect that this is a false flag group under CIA-Mossad control, in order to create a pretext for civil war and an imperialist invasion. Among their reasons are that the first to propagate the news of their actions have been reactionary media such as Globovisión and that the video of the group was mounted by CNN-Mexico.
