In a dramatic turn of events, the kidnappers of Manuel Diaz, father of Liverpool winger Luis Diaz, have presented their conditions for his release. The left-wing ELN guerrilla organisation, responsible for the abduction, has demanded assurances from the Colombian government to facilitate the safe return of Diaz’s father. However, despite promising to release him, the kidnappers have yet to fulfill their vow.
Commander Jose Manuel Martinez Quiroz, one of the unit leaders of the guerrilla group, issued a statement outlining their demands. The group requested the immediate suspension of security operations in order to prevent any further delays in the release process.

The statement, signed by Commander Quiroz, read, “On November 2, we informed the country of our decision to release Mr. Luis Manuel Diaz, father of the talented player Luis Diaz. Since then, we have been working tirelessly to expedite his release. However, the area where he is being held remains heavily militarized, with ongoing flyovers, troop disembarkations, and the broadcasting of rewards as part of an intense search operation. These activities hinder the quick and safe execution of our release plan and put Mr. Luis Manuel Diaz at risk.”
The ELN guerrilla group emphasized that if security operations continued in the area, it would not only delay the release but also increase the risks involved. They expressed their understanding of the Diaz Marulanda family’s anguish and assured them that they would keep their word to release him unilaterally once they received security guarantees for the liberation operation.
The plight of Luis Diaz’s father has garnered attention both locally and internationally, with football fans and authorities anxiously awaiting his safe return. The Colombian government has yet to respond to the demands made by the kidnappers, leaving many concerned about the fate of Manuel Diaz.
