One week day after day that the assassination of the No 1 of the FARC in Colombia, Raul Reyes generated enormous passions between the three presidents of Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela. These passions were so aggressive such as military dispositions were taken in the border lines between the three countries for a counter-attack if the verbal drifts hadn’t been only limited to the words.

Already on the diplomatic level, the total rupture was launched with the systematic recall in their various capitals of Quito and Caracas of their ambassadors and the eviction of the Colombia ambassador from Quito. A week animated in the southern America with often sour diatribes between political leaders who mutually accuse and hate themselves. However this eagerness that hastened to recover the chief of world war of the States, the president of the United States of America Bush Georges to regulate his accounts with the Latin-American Left led by the enthusiastic nationalist and patriotic Hugo Chavez, was to reach its roof if on the way, the summit of the Group of Rio was completed yesterday without success in the Republic of Santo Domingo.

Colombia pro-American and mercenary of the United States in the subregion - at least for Alvaro Uribe, the President of Colombia - had already received within the week which preceded the death of Raul Reyes the oiling of support of the United States if this one had been suddenly attacked by Ecuador and Venezuela.  Hard blow for Bush, because its dream to come back to the Southern America behind the leitmotiv of the attack against Colombia, missed.

Uribe, Correa, and Chavez have been able to exceed their passion showing to the world and to the America of Bush that peace is always possible even when someone is wounded in his “I-interior”. This peace, does it not confirm the emblem of the UNESCO according to which the war occurring in the man spirit, it is in the man spirit that defenses of peace must raise.

“We have definitively closed, I hope, this dark page of international conflict between us, declared Hugo Chavez, and we are opening the way to build peace”. It is softening warlike inclinations by the grace of a historical reconciliation between Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela. The world therefore escapes a human carnage and the noted report is that political morals took step forward on military morals, doses of the Westerners and the Americans. Which teaching can we take out from this peace realization?

Firstly, that peace is possible in other regions of the world without external contribution and that the Israeli-Palestinian question can be solved without the presence of the Americans or the Westerners who are, in my opinion, those who put the oil on the fire between the two people. That peace can be carried out between the political Lebanese leaders without French and American interferences which, de facto, are considered persona non grata among the protagonists pertinently concerned. And that the realization of a frank, lasting and realistic peace can be only through a Lebanon-Lebanese agreement and Arab-Arabs.

Secondly, Africa which underestimates itself, which thinks that the miracle of peace can be made only through the Western prism will have to deprive itself of this self-evident truth to put forward the capacity of Africans to solve by themselves their problems. Chad and Sudan should be inspired by this example. And as consequence, all the foreign forces should leave the African and let African solve by themselves their political, military and socioeconomic difficulties.

Thirdly, France and its European allies, the United States should understand that their legitimacy of gendarme of the world is only in the countries where they impose through their mirage, debts and assistances with nature to asphyxiate the populations. That their legitimacy finds echoes only through the regimes of torture which they put on the power to serve their interests and that the day when by a measure “of inadvertency”, the African Left came to exist and take the power in Africa, it would be the end of the Europe-America imperialism in Africa.
