Por primera vez, habla el sargento colombiano rescatado en México

0:00 At the WU, Colonel' s report. This is a fascinating story, a story of what sometimes the situation, the circumstance of life leads a person to plunge into an unknown abyss. Daniel, what' s today' s report, Good morning, Julio, this is today' s Colonel report. It is the story of a marriage that went from living with some ease to poverty on account of the pandemic. He' s a retired army sergeant who defended himself with his pension and she' s a small businesswoman who owns a company specializing in filling holes on the roads. Things were going reasonably well for them until the 19th coronavirus appeared. The contracts for these small road repairs disappeared overnight. On the other hand, or the debts he had contracted to keep the operation going continued to grow and grow, the gap reached an astronomical sum for them two hundred and fifty million pesos. The husband, who sought an extra income to pay arrears, received a call from a former army companion who said words more words less course. In Mexico, they' re needing people who know about safety to care for lemon crops. They offered him the equivalent

1:33 of seven million Colombian pesos. He reckoned and thought that if he spent three years there spending just what it took to survive, he could reduce debts and help his wife. I' d come every six months to see her and kill the snakes. As is said colloquially, the retired sergeant of the army Andrés Mauricio Cárdenas Forgiveness Andrés Mauricio Cáceres Arciniegas got on a plane to Mexico, stopped in the city to pray a Maria bird in the Sanctuary of Guadalupana, in the tepeyac and then left for Michoacan. However, as he tells it today, for the first time he was expecting something very different from what he had been promised private security, and it was like taking care of executive farms.

2:29 There are large lemon crops, because it is what is cultivated most about this sector and already being there, because I did not realize that, in fact, because they were going to take care of us it was lemon pinches, if it was gone or they tell me that it was going in every way for a cartel. Okay. They gave a rifle here to forty- seven goat horn, told him in Mexico several suppliers and warned him that they were going to fight a rival cartel that, fortunately, did not appear there. His wife Hellen Marulanda, had the first sign that things were not on the right track. A message from Whatsapp and you can already see on the page of the w he does not write memory. I' m fine, but this wasn' t what the truth thought. I need to help.

3:23 Well, there are other things, but basically that was it. It had been four days since the last communication and Sergeant Cáceres had escaped from the workplace taking the rifle he had been given. I went back and blew it up with everything and weapons, with a rifle and all that And of course, for my safety, I took it because yes, yes, they reach me, because I would have to defend myself. It' s one thing. His preparation, not as in the mind already taking advantage of his military training, designed an escape route using by every instrument the compass of his cell phone and based on the orientation of the stars. I, before I fled, made the decision of Will the first thing I did was to analyze all the cell phone to where the south and north of the east of the West were, there I had to take how I could orient myself. And well, we, thanks to them, as military, have great preparation in that regard.

4:32 As for the knowledge of geography and location by means of coordinates and compasses before dividing, I had already analyzed more or less to where the south was, where the different municipalities that could arrive walking if they had to. And so the day that the decision also, because the first thing he did was his lull ball before disconnecting the Internet and everything, connect the brula to the cell phone and indicate me well to locate my starting point. And so with the sky, because I had a lot of moon and so one with the star of the North and places us very easy. He also noticed that they started looking for him shortly after they had escaped and ui carlos with drones flying over him, remembering his law enforcement training in Colombia was covered with leaves until it was invisible from the air. As soon as he could get rid of the rifle, he left it hidden in the vegetation and followed his route until he found an abandoned house where he could recharge his cell phone. Very close to there he recorded a video that sent his wife Helen here today, with the will and love, tired me become nothing, hungry, breathless, but

6:05 I do not give up with my luggage. That' s a equipe. There' s charge, I charge my sheet, the classic one, which is the one that I put on immature lemon for lemon juice in the morning. Some cuffs I found along the way and my ops. I want my toothbrush that I can' t miss. Yes, I' m going I look like snorting, but it comes with God' s will so far.

6:54 Well, at least Estonian than going through very hard, but because the truth, because here no one his wife didn' t know who to go to. In Colombia, he was told that the disappearance should be reported in Mexico and Mexico that they needed a report from a Colombian authority. A police captain in Colombia broke the vicious circle and activated the alert, which was followed by police attachés at the Colombian Embassy. In Mexico, officials of the Embassy and Consulate notified the Mexican authorities of the disappearance of Sergeant Cáceres, who, in the midst of his despair, found on the banks of a river a great opportunity to survive my child' s life. He didn' t put nancero on the road. I found a longing in the middle of the mountain, I had no one there, being some peasant had put it in and I found it there with that same fish a catfish there that was put as bait for carnalle. I placed a piece of mango, of mango vicci that I had there in command and with it or of clean lemon power it was no food. It' s a lemon and water. So, with his canvas

8:28 well said a switchi in a lemon bath. Meanwhile, Helen from Colombia obtained the fundamental help of Colombian women who work for migrants and especially the support of the Michoacán Search and Rescue Committee, the women who seek those of the disappeared. She gave them the secret key they had agreed with her husband, a key taken from a Colombian soap opera. He' s gonna write me Wednesday night and barely. He writes to me and I tell Rumina' s degree that my husband wrote to me. I have the new location of that.

9:09 Saturday night I' m sorry. Then I write to her. My husband wrote to me again. Mauri turns and tells me but with Mexicans. No. Then I told him. Then he tells me what to do, what to do. I keep, I hide, I told you that already have its location. Then, as we don' t trust, then go on, I tell you, I told you go on and I' m going to talk to Michoacán' s women, with the seekers, and she' s not going to go look. I' m going to give you a key and you just get out of your hiding place, because this one had to hide and we had talked about how he was going to keep hiding, that he was going to remove that location, but he was going to keep hiding and if she blackened evaristorrendon, you get out if you don' t know why he' s different, because he likes riba. It was these women who found him before, even the Mexican military. The image you can see in the WU was captured by the seekers shortly after Palm Sunday noon.

10:22 It shows a man torn by dehydrated hunger and in the middle of the mountain one hears the voice of one of the rescuers, calling it with the code name Evaristo. He just comes in and asks for water. Your wife, Jelena Agua Sanagua, sent us everything. A few days ago he returned to Colombia, Mr Sergeant, in use of good retreat. Cáceres Arciniegas, Andrés Mauricio. His wife, DoñaÁngeles Marulanda is a pren knew covered hollows sprinkled him in tears at the airport so the squealing SS people hugged, kissed and met again, curiously under an announcement of lost objects. Although it is true that debts are still alive, he too is alive to face adversity beside her.

11:28 I invite all people not to be afraid. Yeah, there' s nothing harder in life than being afraid. Today that I have it, I know it and anguish, but there is no greater satisfaction than doing things. Well, I' m very proud of Mauritius, very proud of him. At some point he told me. At some point I thought I' d faint because I said I' m leaving, because he said I' m going back empty- handed and I was wrong again, but I' m telling him you' re not a warrior. It was very brave what he did, which isn' t done by anyone. Yes, because at risk his life, for his dignity. Sergeant Cáceres recommends to retired military and police officers that they do not believe in promises, that they may end up costing their lives or turning them into criminals. The truth I recommend and that' s what I recommend for Mexico. There are no job options in Mexico, because the truth is a hoax and I' m not the only soldier in Mexico. There' s a lot of people out there, there' s people working with those people. They carry Colombians from the face of Lilei de la willuce, who wear Venezuelans. Yeah, and I' m not gonna work with kids Unfortunately, those posters are full of kids. I had his fortune. Chamacol decided there with the group they placed twelve, thirteen years old,

13:01 sixteen, seventeen. It is something, but they also do it because of their economic condition. They are sectors of their sectors, of much poverty, much need and because for any dish of bare beginnings they are given to enter into that. Now he and his wife are not only burdened by debts, but fear the revenge of Mexican organized crime and its recruiters, but are happily alive to try to get ahead by covering the gaps that open up life. This was today' s colonel report. Thank you very much.
