A MILLION VOICES AGAINST FARC

A worldwide rally against the terrorist group
FARC has been organized by a common Colombian citizen with no
experience in politics through Facebook.

Early this year, Oscar Morales decided to create a group in Facebook
to protest against the lies, cruelty and madness of the terrorist group
that has kidnapped and killed thousands of Colombians and foreigners
for over 40 years in Colombia.  Three weeks later the group has over
190,000 members from all parts of the globe. This massive social
networking phenomena drive the creator to set a date for the rally:
February 4th.

He received immediately hundreds of messages from supporters all around
the world, from Paris to Dubai. TV networks, newspapers and radio
stations didn’t escape from the wave. The message multiplied. The
government announced the Facebook group all their support.

This day millions of Colombian citizens will stop their activities
around 12 pm. Paris, Düsseldorf, Miami, London, Buenos Aires,
Guatemala, Dubai, The Hague, Tel-Aviv, Washington amongst other cities
are joining to our voice to make a million voices against FARC, against
kidnapping, against murder.

No political party or experienced leaders are behind the protest. Just civilians who want their voices to be heard.

This is a clear example of how social networks can work for good, noble purposes.
