A million voices against the FARC (in Spanish: Un millón de voces contra las FARC), also called the February 4 march was a name of several civic mobilizations in different parts of the world under the slogan Colombia soy yo (translated into English as Colombia is me) that took place on February 4, 2008, in which they protested against the actions of the FARC. These mobilizations arose in January 2008 from the social network Facebook[1] where a group of users was created in reaction to the situation of the hostages evidenced in the survival tests delivered by the guerrilla group in December 2007 and the failure of Operation Emmanuel. This Facebook group grew exponentially in the first weeks of 2008 since it was the only one that at that time referred to those events that generated strong feelings of rejection in Colombia.
This phenomenon became the focus of attention of the media, which in turn were the ones that summoned the large number of participants. These marches are part of a series of civic expressions around the cause of peace in Colombia and against crimes such as kidnapping and other forms of violence that plague the country.[2] Due to the novelty of the emergence of the event, some political analysts perceived that some kind of long-term civic movement would emerge from it, over the months these perceptions were denied.
