00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:06.559
At the WU, Colonel' s
report. This is a fascinating story,

2
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:13.679
a story of what sometimes the situation, the circumstance of life leads a person

3
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:21.879
to plunge into an unknown abyss.
Daniel, what' s today' s

4
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:26.679
report, Good morning, Julio,
this is today' s Colonel report.

5
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:31.519
It is the story of a marriage
that went from living with some ease to

6
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:37.039
poverty on account of the pandemic.
He' s a retired army sergeant who

7
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:43.679
defended himself with his pension and she' s a small businesswoman who owns a

8
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:48.280
company specializing in filling holes on the
roads. Things were going reasonably well for

9
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:55.439
them until the 19th coronavirus appeared.
The contracts for these small road repairs disappeared

10
00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:03.159
overnight. On the other hand,
or the debts he had contracted to keep

11
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:11.519
the operation going continued to grow and
grow, the gap reached an astronomical sum

12
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.159
for them two hundred and fifty million
pesos. The husband, who sought an

13
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:21.239
extra income to pay arrears, received
a call from a former army companion who

14
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:26.599
said words more words less course.
In Mexico, they' re needing people

15
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:33.280
who know about safety to care for
lemon crops. They offered him the equivalent

16
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:38.400
of seven million Colombian pesos. He
reckoned and thought that if he spent three

17
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:45.760
years there spending just what it took
to survive, he could reduce debts and

18
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.840
help his wife. I' d
come every six months to see her and

19
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:56.879
kill the snakes. As is said
colloquially, the retired sergeant of the army

20
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:02.840
Andrés Mauricio Cárdenas Forgiveness Andrés Mauricio Cáceres
Arciniegas got on a plane to Mexico,

21
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.479
stopped in the city to pray a
Maria bird in the Sanctuary of Guadalupana,

22
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:15.360
in the tepeyac and then left for
Michoacan. However, as he tells it

23
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:20.120
today, for the first time he
was expecting something very different from what he

24
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:29.080
had been promised private security, and
it was like taking care of executive farms.

25
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:32.360
There are large lemon crops, because
it is what is cultivated most about

26
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:38.520
this sector and already being there,
because I did not realize that, in

27
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:45.080
fact, because they were going to
take care of us it was lemon pinches,

28
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:46.800
if it was gone or they tell
me that it was going in every

29
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:52.400
way for a cartel. Okay.
They gave a rifle here to forty-

30
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:58.080
seven goat horn, told him in
Mexico several suppliers and warned him that they

31
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.439
were going to fight a rival cartel
that, fortunately, did not appear there.

32
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.520
His wife Hellen Marulanda, had the
first sign that things were not on

33
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:13.719
the right track. A message from
Whatsapp and you can already see on the

34
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.840
page of the w he does not
write memory. I' m fine,

35
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:22.240
but this wasn' t what the
truth thought. I need to help.

36
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:30.800
Well, there are other things,
but basically that was it. It had

37
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:38.319
been four days since the last communication
and Sergeant Cáceres had escaped from the workplace

38
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:44.240
taking the rifle he had been given. I went back and blew it up

39
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.840
with everything and weapons, with a
rifle and all that And of course,

40
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.599
for my safety, I took it
because yes, yes, they reach me,

41
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.479
because I would have to defend myself. It' s one thing.

42
00:03:54.639 --> 00:04:01.599
His preparation, not as in the
mind already taking advantage of his military training,

43
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:08.599
designed an escape route using by every
instrument the compass of his cell phone

44
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:14.560
and based on the orientation of the
stars. I, before I fled,

45
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:19.360
made the decision of Will the first
thing I did was to analyze all the

46
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:24.399
cell phone to where the south and
north of the east of the West were,

47
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:29.560
there I had to take how I
could orient myself. And well,

48
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.800
we, thanks to them, as
military, have great preparation in that regard.

49
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:40.879
As for the knowledge of geography and
location by means of coordinates and compasses

50
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.079
before dividing, I had already analyzed
more or less to where the south was,

51
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:54.879
where the different municipalities that could arrive
walking if they had to. And

52
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:59.000
so the day that the decision also, because the first thing he did was

53
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:05.839
his lull ball before disconnecting the Internet
and everything, connect the brula to the

54
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:13.519
cell phone and indicate me well to
locate my starting point. And so with

55
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.759
the sky, because I had a
lot of moon and so one with the

56
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:24.920
star of the North and places us
very easy. He also noticed that they

57
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:30.319
started looking for him shortly after they
had escaped and ui carlos with drones flying

58
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:35.319
over him, remembering his law enforcement
training in Colombia was covered with leaves until

59
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:41.399
it was invisible from the air.
As soon as he could get rid of

60
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:46.079
the rifle, he left it hidden
in the vegetation and followed his route until

61
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.439
he found an abandoned house where he
could recharge his cell phone. Very close

62
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:55.000
to there he recorded a video that
sent his wife Helen here today, with

63
00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:05.120
the will and love, tired me
become nothing, hungry, breathless, but

64
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:13.079
I do not give up with my
luggage. That' s a equipe.

65
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:19.879
There' s charge, I charge
my sheet, the classic one, which

66
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:28.399
is the one that I put on
immature lemon for lemon juice in the morning.

67
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:39.240
Some cuffs I found along the way
and my ops. I want my

68
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:46.879
toothbrush that I can' t miss. Yes, I' m going I

69
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:54.319
look like snorting, but it comes
with God' s will so far.

70
00:06:54.439 --> 00:07:00.000
Well, at least Estonian than going
through very hard, but because the truth,

71
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:08.560
because here no one his wife didn' t know who to go to.

72
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:13.720
In Colombia, he was told that
the disappearance should be reported in Mexico

73
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:16.920
and Mexico that they needed a report
from a Colombian authority. A police captain

74
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:21.480
in Colombia broke the vicious circle and
activated the alert, which was followed by

75
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:29.040
police attachés at the Colombian Embassy.
In Mexico, officials of the Embassy and

76
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:33.720
Consulate notified the Mexican authorities of the
disappearance of Sergeant Cáceres, who, in

77
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:39.160
the midst of his despair, found
on the banks of a river a great

78
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:44.439
opportunity to survive my child' s
life. He didn' t put nancero

79
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:46.000
on the road. I found a
longing in the middle of the mountain,

80
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:57.560
I had no one there, being
some peasant had put it in and I

81
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:05.480
found it there with that same fish
a catfish there that was put as bait

82
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:13.199
for carnalle. I placed a piece
of mango, of mango vicci that I

83
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:24.079
had there in command and with it
or of clean lemon power it was no

84
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.639
food. It' s a lemon
and water. So, with his canvas

85
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:37.279
well said a switchi in a lemon
bath. Meanwhile, Helen from Colombia obtained

86
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:43.600
the fundamental help of Colombian women who
work for migrants and especially the support of

87
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:48.720
the Michoacán Search and Rescue Committee,
the women who seek those of the disappeared.

88
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.759
She gave them the secret key they
had agreed with her husband, a

89
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.399
key taken from a Colombian soap opera. He' s gonna write me Wednesday

90
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:03.559
night and barely. He writes to
me and I tell Rumina' s degree

91
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:09.440
that my husband wrote to me.
I have the new location of that.

92
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.399
Saturday night I' m sorry.
Then I write to her. My husband

93
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:18.120
wrote to me again. Mauri turns
and tells me but with Mexicans. No.

94
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:24.720
Then I told him. Then he
tells me what to do, what

95
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.799
to do. I keep, I
hide, I told you that already have

96
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:33.639
its location. Then, as we
don' t trust, then go on,

97
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:41.200
I tell you, I told you
go on and I' m going

98
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.000
to talk to Michoacán' s women, with the seekers, and she'

99
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.320
s not going to go look.
I' m going to give you a

100
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.399
key and you just get out of
your hiding place, because this one had

101
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.519
to hide and we had talked about
how he was going to keep hiding,

102
00:09:54.919 --> 00:10:01.559
that he was going to remove that
location, but he was going to keep

103
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.279
hiding and if she blackened evaristorrendon,
you get out if you don' t

104
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.600
know why he' s different,
because he likes riba. It was these

105
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:16.000
women who found him before, even
the Mexican military. The image you can

106
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.159
see in the WU was captured by
the seekers shortly after Palm Sunday noon.

107
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.919
It shows a man torn by dehydrated
hunger and in the middle of the mountain

108
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.440
one hears the voice of one of
the rescuers, calling it with the code

109
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:43.039
name Evaristo. He just comes in
and asks for water. Your wife,

110
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:50.480
Jelena Agua Sanagua, sent us everything. A few days ago he returned to

111
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.279
Colombia, Mr Sergeant, in use
of good retreat. Cáceres Arciniegas, Andrés

112
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:00.879
Mauricio. His wife, DoñaÁngeles
Marulanda is a pren knew covered hollows sprinkled

113
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:16.559
him in tears at the airport so
the squealing SS people hugged, kissed and

114
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:22.240
met again, curiously under an announcement
of lost objects. Although it is true

115
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:26.360
that debts are still alive, he
too is alive to face adversity beside her.

116
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.759
I invite all people not to be
afraid. Yeah, there' s

117
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:39.000
nothing harder in life than being afraid. Today that I have it, I

118
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:43.360
know it and anguish, but there
is no greater satisfaction than doing things.

119
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:48.519
Well, I' m very proud
of Mauritius, very proud of him.

120
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.399
At some point he told me.
At some point I thought I' d

121
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.480
faint because I said I' m
leaving, because he said I' m

122
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.600
going back empty- handed and I
was wrong again, but I' m

123
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.759
telling him you' re not a
warrior. It was very brave what he

124
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.960
did, which isn' t done
by anyone. Yes, because at risk

125
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:13.240
his life, for his dignity.
Sergeant Cáceres recommends to retired military and police

126
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.960
officers that they do not believe in
promises, that they may end up costing

127
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:24.399
their lives or turning them into criminals. The truth I recommend and that'

128
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:28.399
s what I recommend for Mexico.
There are no job options in Mexico,

129
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.519
because the truth is a hoax and
I' m not the only soldier in

130
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.960
Mexico. There' s a lot
of people out there, there' s

131
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.759
people working with those people. They
carry Colombians from the face of Lilei de

132
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:48.639
la willuce, who wear Venezuelans.
Yeah, and I' m not gonna

133
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.840
work with kids Unfortunately, those posters
are full of kids. I had his

134
00:12:54.720 --> 00:13:01.759
fortune. Chamacol decided there with the
group they placed twelve, thirteen years old,

135
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:07.559
sixteen, seventeen. It is something, but they also do it because

136
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:13.120
of their economic condition. They are
sectors of their sectors, of much poverty,

137
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:20.919
much need and because for any dish
of bare beginnings they are given to

138
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:28.039
enter into that. Now he and
his wife are not only burdened by debts,

139
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:33.000
but fear the revenge of Mexican organized
crime and its recruiters, but are

140
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:39.960
happily alive to try to get ahead
by covering the gaps that open up life.

141
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.399
This was today' s colonel report. Thank you very much.
