stated that if Colombia launched a similar operation within Venezuelan borders he would consider it a casus belli and verbally attacked the Colombian president. Chávez ordered ten Venezuelan national guard battalions to the Colombia-Venezuela border and closed its embassy in Bogotá. Chávez also offered his support to Ecuadorian president Correa. Purported plans to destabilize Colombia In a press conference held on March 3, 2008, the Colombian National Police chief Oscar Naranjo claimed that their intelligence service had confiscated three computers from Raúl Reyes with extensive information purportedly detailing a close relationship between the FARC and the governments of Hugo Chávez and Rafael Correa. The police chief stated that these documents proved that the Ecuadorian government agreed with Reyes to provide safe conduct for him in Ecuadorian territory. He also accused Venezuela of having plans to destabilize the Colombian government and a plan to provide uranium to the FARC and produce a dirty bomb. These claims are denied by the Ecuadorian government sustaining that the little contact they had with FARC was well known by the Colombian government, and it was for humanitarian purposes only. In a visit to Brazil, Correa made a comparison by pointing out that president of France, Sarkozy is also in contact with FARC, and yet nobody would even think to accuse him of such things. Venezuela rejected the accusations by sarcastically saying that from these computers would come out every document the Colombian government decides they need. Suspension and restoration of diplomatic relations As a response to the crisis the Ecuadorian government of Rafael Correa decided to end any diplomatic relations with Colombia, ordered the Ecuadorian embassy in Colombia to close and expelled the Colombian ambassador. The Ecuadorian and Colombian presidents Rafael Correa and Álvaro Uribe agreed to restore low-level diplomatic relations at the level of Chargé d'Affaires immediately and without preconditions on June 6, 2008, following individual communications with and under a deal brokered by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. As official diplomatic relations began to thaw, and the countries restored their ambassadorial exchange, social organizations and international assistance also began investing in grassroots peacebuilding and conflict resolution capacity building in the Ecuadorian-Colombian border region. The relationship between Colombia and Ecuador during the Correa and Moreno eras was shaped by bilateral trade, spillover effects from the Colombian conflict, and especially the flow of refugees from Colombia to Ecuador, and later the flow of Venezuelan migrants
