摘要

Last year, some 35,000 peasant farmers in the Colombian department of Putu-mayo, the world's largest single source of cocaine, signed pacts agreeing to pull up their coca bushes within 12 months in return for government aid. Thousands complied; many more did not-not least because aid was slow to arrive. Now Colombia's new government, supported by the United States, is all but scrapping this policy of voluntary eradication in favour of a big new push to spray coca fields with herbicide. After a decade in which coca production steadily rose in Colombia, American officials say that this year they will finally start to get on top of it. Alvaro Uribe, who took office as Colombia's president a month ago, has made containing the country's guerrillas his top priority. The United States Congress recently approved an administration request to allow American military aid, previously targeted against the drug trade, to be used against the insurgents. But officials from both countries insist that fighting drugs is an integral part of tackling the illegal armies (of right-wing paramilitaries as well as left-wing guerrillas) which profit from and protect the cocaine trade.
