Ecuador Human Rights Group Condemns Plan Colombia, calls for Andean Area Peace effort   Ecuador is expected to be the country most affected by the so-called baloon effects of Plan Colombia. As tensions build in coming months with the U.S. financed "Push into the South Offensive" along Colombia's southern border with Ecuador, one of the crucial organizations in monitoring the situation will be the Quito-based Ecumenical Comision for Human Rights (Comision Ecumenica de Derechos Humanos) known as CEDHU. The organization has been monitoring human rights in Ecuador since 1977 when a massacre of workers at the ASTRA sugar refinery made it clear a human rights organization was needed.    Maryknoll Sister Elsie Monge spoke with Freelance Writer Ronald J. Morgan on April 3, 2001 about Plan Colombia and how the organization views the situation in Ecuador. Plan Colombia      It is said that Plan Colombia is a plan to combat drug trafficking. But really it is evident this is a smoke screen. If they really wanted to attack drug trafficking they would have to begin by attacking the (narcotics) business because there are large amounts of capital involved and it can't be hidden. Another aspect is the demand which is in the developed countries -- the United States and other countries -- and there's not much being done to control demand.     The weakest link is the production. And as a result, they are attacking the weakest point with all the damage that this means for the indigenous and peasant farmer population that lives in the area of coca cultivation. And there's also the ecological damage that is going to occur and already has occurred.  The fumigations with the use of glyphosate (Roundup) have endangered the food supplies in the area. It has affected such plants as the yucca which is grown a lot there, the bananas, fruits.      Hidden Agenda     It is said that this is being done to combat drug trafficking. But we think that other interests are involved. These interests aren't being talked about. They're not as evident. One is the control of social sectors which might be an obstacle to or criticize the system and are questioning the neo liberal model that is being implemented in Colombia.     Among these are the Colombian guerrillas which were formed with the objective of defending the interests of the majority against the interests of the dominant minority. In Ecuador at this point there´s the indigenous movement which is questioning the same neo liberal model. And in Venezuela there's (President Hugo) Chavez who is a bit of a mystery. But he has popular support because he has done things in favor of the poor and has maintained a very critical position with relation to the United States.     Plan Colombia is control of the Andean Region. This is one of the strategic objectives behind the plan. Plan Colombia is a bellicose plan, a military plan. The $1.3 billion contributed by the United States is for purchase of arms and helicopter which returns money to the U.S. arms industry. They are going to benefit. More
