MiKolombia (MiKo) is a loose connection of Colombian and foreign journalists, analysts, misfits and provocateurs who are unhappy with the country’s current course. We feel there is a vast undercurrent of important perspectives that are under-valued or ignored by conventional news media. This website is a space to heap scorn on, and rail against, the ignorance, greed and corruption that are the sources of Colombia’s problems. Most of these problems are not exclusive to this country and its people, nor are they inevitable. Another country is possible – a Colombia that could and even should be better, even if many Colombians don’t believe it themselves.
Change the word ‘Kenya’ to ‘Colombia’ and you get the picture.
Rejecting extremes of both the left and right, this site is a home for analysis and commentary that flies in the face of political correctness. MiKo aims to engage, provoke, offend, incite, energize, and to rebel against the numbing, dumbing down of the ‘polite society’ that keeps everything in its place. Our goal is to arouse debate, dispute and dialogue. We are a spotlight. A cold rain. Open your eyes and wake up.
