Commander Ilich Ramirez Although he has expressed his displeasure with some of the things Nydia Tobon account in his book, I think it is one of the few friends we have evidence to defend the image of the Commander. And we can ensure that next year Nydia Tobon back in the news and perhaps his book will be reissued. So better to warn the followers of this website that is talking loans.
have been written d ocena book on the life of Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, alias "Carlos". 99% are volumes written by Western journalists, full of prejudices, clichés and exaggerations. Journalists in the best (as David Yallop) or if you want Ilich met or spoke with him just a few minutes. However, there is an exception: "Carlos" terrorist or guerrilla?. My experiences "Nidya Tobon. 
Nydia Tobon, Colombian revolutionary (of Basque origin) and companion and friend of Ilic h Ramirez during his revolutionary operations in Europe, was arrested shortly after the suc Toullier that the Rue de Paris, where Ilich escapes the French police cordon, and his identity is known worldwide. During his confinement in British prisons of Brixton and Holloway, ordered his memories and personal experiences of four years of cohabitation and friendship with Ilich and wrote this book. Book the author summarizes in the foreword: "This is not the story of a reporter pressed for time, obliged to submit the event the next day, but the experiences of someone who thought out by different circumstances and lived the events very closely, and at the end of the story became one of the protagonists . " (P. 9)
In its 200 pages we find a Ilich Ramírez has nothing to do with lurid descriptions and concerned that the international media to "The Jackal." Ilich discovered a human, a lover of dance, fun and sexy ivo for women, but also committed revolutionary, until the last consequences, with its ideology.
Nydia Tobon Ilich met in 1972 during a party held in the Colombian Centre of London. His first impression was " attractive rate, strong, curly hair and white skin pink enamel junction. He looked like a formal student of "good family", almost girlish face. I figured 25 years and an approximate height of 1.75 .... " (P. 44)
born and a close relationship with both Michael Ilich Ramirez as Moukarbal Waheb, who is affectionately referred to as "the c hiquitín" that was part of the revolutionary command of Charles in Europe and died in the events of the Rue Toullier, after ratting out the French police Ilich. 
Nydia performed logistical and support missions for the command of Carlos and n L ondon and Paris, Florence and Milan, La Havre and Saint-Tropez, from renting apartments to impersonate his wife as a cover. And during those years of living could get to know the dreaded Carlos, whom he describes as a new form of guerrilla, away from the conventional topics: "Carlos demystifies the serious revolutionary transcendentalist, boring, dogma attic and starched pair denied the satisfactions of life, for pleasure ... Carlos is, simply, the revolutionary without pose, without makeup or public relations office, no press conferences and television interviews. Is for those who will never be retired ADOS ... " (p. 79). And tells many stories that reflect the generous and humane commander Carlos, as an occasion when he took off his coat and expensive clothes to give away to needy comrades (p. 82), or meeting with Latino musicians in the streets Paris, who played waiting for help from passers French yet passed by without devote even a glance; Nidya Ilich Tobon and decided, at this contempt, made to dance to musicians, to call the attention of passersby, while Moukarbal collecting alms with his own hat. That night the players ate and slept warm in Paris. (P. 35)
The author also speaks of the hatred and contempt of Carlos by the vices and miseries of the imperialist system " I enter, gun in hand, the nest of drug dealers and make scary shit to those rats, taking all the money for delivery to the revolution. With this scoundrel on the mercy! " (p. 114). And when all services chalk world followed the trail of "the Jackal, Ilich Ramirez only maintained telephone contact with Nydia, at least until the time of his arrest.
Tobón met many of the key characters in the history of Carlos. And through their personal experiences we can meet some of her lovers as Angela Otaola or Amparo Silva, Altagracia family as his father or his brother Lenin, and even fellow militants as Antoine Bouvier and Mohammed Boudia, predecessor Carlos in the leadership of command and was killed by Mossad agents players in the Wrath of God operation, which Steven Spielberg relates in his latest film "Munich." Boudia and Carlos prepared together several of the most famous operations of the revolutionary struggle in Europe. 
l more knowledgeable you Commander feelings and goals that all western journalists together, Nidya comes to comparing the Venezuelan revolutionary, the liberator of America: "Carlos has chosen this path. As we understand the ideals that guide the dreams of Bolivar to the unity of Latin American peoples, or the impulses of Miranda by placing his sword as an offering for liberating padding on either continent. Venezuelan both left the narrowness of the local area to demonstrate open-mindedness with which the fight for freedom, that the revolution of the people does not fit into molds border, not a tightening chance of geographical circumstance. " (Pag . 83)
Today Juanita Acosta Colombian actress will portray her countrywoman Nydia Tobon, such as actor Edgar Ramirez does with his fellow Ilich Ramirez. I wish the writers of the film are so faithful to reality and does not try to sully the image of Comandante Carlos, through the role of the Colombian actress.
