Perspective Writing

Now, the children aged 13, 9, 4 and 1 are expected to remain at least two weeks in the Military Hospital in Bogotá receiving treatment after their rescue, although some are already talking and want to go for a walk, according to relatives.

Manuel Ranoque, father of the two youngest children, told reporters outside the hospital that according to what Lesly (the eldest of the siblings) told him, their mother remained alive for four days after the plane crashed in the Colombian jungle on May 1. May, although this issue has not been confirmed by the authorities.

THE RESCUE

The case of the four children of 9, 4, 13 and 1 year old respectively who were found in Colombia after 40 days of searching in the jungle has gone around the world and little by little more details have been learned about how the rescue.

According to local publications, the children knew the terrain in which they had been wandering, its great dangers and its codes, and they fed on fruits, seeds and roots that they knew were edible. “The survival of children is a sample of knowledge related to the natural environment of life, which is taught from the very womb of the mother,” explained the National Organization of Indigenous Peoples of Colombia (OPIAC).

International media have revealed that the search for the minors was undertaken jointly -and in an unprecedented event in recent history for the country- between the indigenous guard and the Colombian Army, which managed to have more than 120 people on the ground.

The commander of the Joint Command of Special Operations of Colombia, Pedro Sánchez, had explained that the operation advanced with three hypotheses: that the minors had died, that they were under the power of the FARC dissidents, and the one that ended up being true: that they were alive, alone and lost.

“They were alone. They themselves achieved an example of total survival that will remain in history,” Colombian President Gustavo Petro declared on Friday.

The search for the children included collaboration between the government, indigenous communities and the national army, something that Vice President Francia Márquez stressed after learning that the minors had been found.

“When we put knowledge and institutions to work persistently at the service of the people, we can solve, save lives and collectively build hope,” he wrote on Twitter.

BUSCAN A WILSON

During the rescue operations, a canine agent got separated from the group and got lost in the jungle, so the Colombian authorities have announced that the search for “Wilson” continues in the region.
