  • Origins
    The Black Eagles first appeared in the Norte de Santander area in 2006.[3] On 18 October 2006, President Álvaro Uribe openly ordered their detention.[4] The government ordered the creation of a new Search Bloc against the Black Eagles and classified them as a gang of former paramilitaries.[5]

    The Black Eagles are one of a number of groups formed following the demilitarisation of the AUC, and are said to be closely linked with the Usuga Clan drug cartel and right-wing neo-paramilitary group.[6]

    What or who are the feared Black Eagles and why do the authorities in Colombia say that they do not exist?

    These are fragments of just three of dozens of threatening pamphlets, all signed by the Black Eagles, which appear throughout almost all of Colombia:

    "We know where I lived (sic) that hifueputa (sic) has been declared a military target... Hifueputa (sic) has a week to leave cuaca (sic, it means Cauca) because if we don't kill him."

    "Servile journalists of Castrochavism know that they find this camouflaged in all the media that serve a peace process where the treacherous Santos is handing over the country to the FARC" (everything is in capital letters in the original) .

    "Death sentence for guerrillas, farucos (referring to the FARC) , their time is running out, they leave or they die. The following hptas (sic) are declared military objectives (sic) together with their families and collaborators" (all in capital letters in the original and with a list of organizations and names at the end of the text) .


    The name Águilas Negras, which has Nazi reminiscences (sometimes they use swastikas in their threats), strikes fear and that is the objective .
