  • 9 years ago
In Colombia, supporters of the peace process currently underway in Havana, Cuba are concerned over the recent decision of the Revolutionary Armed Forces to suspend its unilateral indefinite ceasefire following a government military attack that left 26 rebels dead. The Broad Front for Peace had anticipated such a development if the government did not accept the rebel's proposal for a bilateral ceasefire. Furthermore, it reports that in the past four months, the government launched 56 military offensives against FARC units. Social organizations are calling for demonstrations in support of a bilateral ceasefire. Natalia Margarita reports from Bogota. teleSUR
