FARC Calls Government’s Deadly Airstrikes ‘A Step Backwards’

2015-05-26 0

The Colombian government and FARC rebels are proceeding with peace talks in Havana despite tensions over government bombings that killed 26 guerrillas last week. FARC leader Pablo Catatumbo condemned the government airstrikes as he arrived for the talks, calling the tragic events of last week “a step backwards in the advances made so far in Havana.” The FARC has lifted its unilateral ceasefire declared last December and continues to call on the government to engage in a bilateral ceasefire. teleSUR
