Colombia: Peace Group Says Ceasefire has Saved Hundreds of Lives

  • 9 years ago
Colombia's Broad Front for Peace says that hundreds of deaths and injuries have been avoided as a result of the unilateral cease fire proclaimed by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). The peace coalition is calling on the government to accept the rebel proposal for an indefinite bilateral truce. Concern has been voiced in civil society over the government's decision to lift the suspension of airstrikes against rebel positions following last week's clash in the department of Cauca between government soldiers and FARC combatants.
