I continue with the illusion of serving Colombia. Only God knows if it were to be from the presidency.
From Ingrid Betancourt
When you have a chain around your neck, you have to keep your head down and try to accept your fate without succumbing entirely to humiliation, without forgetting who you are.
During my captivity, I felt abandoned by everyone apart from my family and supporters, because there was no part of the political spectrum that would want me released.
I carry the voices of all my family within me, and they were with me there in the jungle.
After six years without seeing one, I love just seeing a smile - every smile I see gives me hope.
More than a victim, I am a survivor of a dehumanization process.
In a kidnapping, you leave behind a lot of your baggage, like arrogance and stubbornness.
France is my home; you are my family. I am carrying all of you in my heart.
I owe everything to France.
I have shed many tears of pain and indignation.
