Colombia in the long shadow of war
Article Abstract:
Colombia has been affected by a decade of civil war, and peace talks between the government and Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) were seen as hopeful. This hope has been undermined by a guerrilla attack some 24 km from Bogota, Colombia's capital. The attacks were launched from a location cleared of soldiers by the government as a way of helping to promote peace with the guerillas. President Andres Pastrana is still firm in his belief in negitiations with FARC.
