Yes! So that the terrorists do not harm the workers or their families and the plantation that the families relied on for their livelihood. They could just have opted to ignore the terrorists and call their bluff. You know the catastrophic results that would have resulted. They already paid a price - to the terrorists and now to the government. And they left Columbia. Now would you want to still boycott them???
