As a result of that the Colombian army raided at dawn on the first Saturday of March in Ecuadorian territory to kill Raul Reyes and other 18 combatants from FARC, Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa denounced the violation of its national sovereignty. He also argued that the Colombian President alvaro Uribe lied when it informed him that his troops made such action in pursuit of these terrorists. According to Correa what happened was a massacre made against people who were asleep and using the support of a great power (with suggesting that America was behind it). Bogota has given several versions. The initial is that his troops chased terrorists who gave scope on the southern border, but then the coroner has stated that the corpse of Kings showed have been sleeping and Colombian police chief Oscar Naranjo said that the FARC base was not mobile but fixed (and that she demonstrates that there have been ties with the Government of Quito).
After that Quito has been expelled to the Colombian Embassy and, like Caracas had withdrawn to their embassies in Bogota, at the same time that have mobilized thousands of soldiers to its border with Colombia. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was very emphatic in saying that if Colombia had done something similar in your own soil it would have meant a causal to enter a war. To consider this and to send ten battalions to its western edge, Chavez wants to show as a strong supporter of the sovereignty of their nation and against the interference of U.S. (whom he accuses of being the power after Uribe). This incident serves to reinforce his thesis go towards a joint military force of the ALBA. For Teodoro Petkoff, one of the leaders of the opposition, this is a move that seeks to use his representative to unite the nation against him and avoid further losing support bases.
