Introduction

Through this blog I want you to know about the constant conflict between Colombia and Venezuela which increases as the years go by.
 First is important to know that this conflict started many years ago when the Great Colombia divided into the countries known as Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador. The conflict started as a territorial and economic problem since Venezuela considers La Guajira part of its territory. After the years the conflict changed from territorial and economic to political and governmental.
Colombia has an internal conflict which consists of a terrorist group called FARC who fights against the government and does improper things such as the illegal exchange of cocaine and other drugs. The last 10 years Colombia has became a strong country when we talk about this problem because thanks to the military and the last president the problem has decreased. However, the conflict with Venezuela grows every time since the Colombian government found out that Hugo Chavez (president from Venezuela) has been helping this terrorist group to gain power and protect them behind the Colombian government knowledge.

  2. Generally, do you think Chavez has a chance of attracting Columbians to his way of thinking?
