Dutch FARC guerrilla Tanja Nijmeijer says she does not want to be rescued from the Colombian jungle. In a new video obtained by Radio Netherlands Worldwide she says she will stay with FARC until she dies or until victory is achieved. And if they try to rescue her "we will meet them with machine guns, mines and mortars."

The video footage (see also RNW's second video article) was shot in August, a month before the Colombian army's assault on a FARC camp which led to speculation that the 32-year-old Dutch woman was dead. The journalist who interviewed her says she is still alive.

In the video Tanja is wearing a green army uniform and has an assault rifle in her lap. She makes it clear she will not consider surrendering:

"If the army and government of Colombia still think or say I was kidnapped let them come here and rescue me. We will meet them with AK47s, bazookas, mines, mortars, everything."

Years of living in camps has not diminished her determination as a FARC guerrilla:

"I am a fighter for the Colombian revolutionary forces and I will remain so until victory is achieved or until I die. There is no turning back. I am proud to be a guerrilla and to be able to work together with the Colombian people and the other guerrillas, to take power and proclaim the revolution."
