LIST LICENSE FOR MINESA TO TAKE OVER THE GOLD OF SANTURBN
Showing themselves very generous and generous during the difficulties of the peace process in the Santos government, in the winter tragedy of Mocoa and now in the health crisis caused by the coronavirus, the UAE will surely receive the environmental license in exchange for the next few days. his Minesa company seizes the gold that lies deep in the Santurban moor, within the limits of the two santanderes
It all started with commercial exchanges. Textiles, clothing, food and flowers left Cartagena for the leading developing country in the Middle East. Institutions such as ProColombia, ensured that the most exclusive restaurants and buffets in cities such as Dubai served Colombian-made pitahayas and gooseberries.
Then came the immigration concessions. At least 8 thousand Colombians left Colombia heading to the United Arab Emirates in search of a better future between 2010 and 2013. They were very well received, which caught the attention of more and more compatriots who packed their bags without much thought and today they are working there.
Then the Emirati government was one of the strongest international allies in the peace process with the FARC. On the official visit of President Juan Manuel Santos to Abu Dhabi in 2017, when the agreement had already been signed, he was received by Crown Prince Mohamed bin Zayed al Nahyan who notified him of the 45 million dollars that Colombia would receive as support for that process. That same year the tragedy of Mocoa would happen, which would end up taking the lives of 336 people and leaving thousands affected. The Emirati government sent a check through its embassy for $ 7 million for the reconstruction of the Putumayo capital.
Obviously, those help gestures were not free. The Arabs had long since set their sights on the gold of the Santurbn moor. That treasure became an obsession.
Minesa, the company in which the Emirati monarchy is the majority shareholder through its business emporium, announced days after the visit of former President Santos in 2017, an additional investment of nearly a billion dollars in various projects that would represent alleged damages to the Pramo de Santurbn, which set off alarms in Colombian civil society.
And now, in the midst of the pandemic, the Minesa Arabs have also been very generous.
At the beginning of April, the arrival of the pandemic in Colombia was just beginning to be felt, a donation of 10,000 rapid tests for the detection of COVID-19 arrived at the laboratory of the University of Antioquia in an Etihad Airways Boeing B777, sent by the UAE Prime Minister Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktum. In addition, 5,000 overalls (protective suits), 15,000 medical gowns, 500,000 gloves, 30,000 shoe covers, 20,000 masks and 6,000 disinfectants arrived.
Then, in June, 18 tons of sanitary supplies arrived in the country from the United Arab Emirates. The Colombian ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, the Barranquilla member Jaime Amn, put on the shirt for his city and sent the mayor Pumarejo 50,000 rapid tests, 20,000 masks, 200,000 gloves and food for 2,000 families.
On July 28, the third direct flight donation from the UAE arrived. Fans, tests, medical instruments and biomedical security arrived aboard the same Etihad plane that has carried tons of donations on every occasion and has also repatriated hundreds of Colombians trapped in the Middle East.
The good Colombian-Arab relations have reached a point that, as if that were not enough, by order of the Emirates Ministry of Interior, the Colombian flag took the tallest building in the world on the night of July 20, the day of the National independence, which was celebrated amid strict confinement throughout the Colombian territory.
The behavior of the United Arab Emirates in the face of the tragedies that Colombia has experienced, now added to the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus, led the Vice Minister of Mines, Carolina Rojas, to declare a few days ago that mining projects such as the one she wants to develop in the Santurbn Pramo, they would bring economic benefits to the country in the midst of the crisis.
That statement has been interpreted in government, civic and political circles in Santander, as a preview of the decision that the National Agency for Environmental Licenses -ANLA- will take in the next few days.
Minesa will receive in the next few days the authorization to seize the gold of the Santurbn paramo in an exploitation that will last twenty years, gold valued at today's prices of more than 24 billion pesos.
Regional authorities and environmentalists affirm that this exploitation will leave the aqueducts without water, which today supply close to three million inhabitants of the two Santander districts.
