President Gustavo Petro, like the entire country, celebrated the discovery of the four minors who had been missing for 40 days in the Guaviare jungle.
The captain, Andrés Chaparro, representative of the Assistant General Command of the Military Forces, recounted that the children told the group that found them that "they fed on the fruits that the jungle gave them and on the survival kits that they were finding." ”.
The minors, according to the Military Forces, have dehydration and some bites from animals that live in the jungle.
Some media outlets interviewed their maternal grandparents, who insisted that the jungle would return them safely, and that forces coexisted deep in that jungle that the "white man" does not understand, but that the indigenous peoples do understand. The four minors are part of the Uitoto community, and they had to leave their community fleeing with their mother, Magdalena Mucutuy, from the horrors of war. Her husband, Manuel Ranoque, a community leader, had been threatened by illegal groups.
This is why some of its inhabitants, such as Alex Rufino of the Ticuna people, told El País that those who get lost in the jungle are accompanied by "other spiritualities, other beings" , and there is the possibility of meeting with towns that still remain incommunicado in the jungle and "spirits that live there, mothers of that place (...) They take great care of people" , which is why his family always believed that the children were still alive.
