| The Latest On Colombia's Peace Negotiations With the F.A.R.C. |
| 2004-08-30 |
| The leftist F.A.R.C. (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia) guerrillas of Colombia have accepted Luis C. Restrepo as a go between for prisoner exchange & peace negotiations & they assure that they won't negotiate using the Internet. Using the Internet was apparently proposed. This is the response of the guerrilla leader Raúl Reyes to the latest declarations from the High Commission for Peace about the so-called humanitarian exchange.(as they've taken to calling the proposed prisoner exchange between the leftist F.A.R.C. guerrillas & the Colombian government.) The F.A.R.C. said that Restrepo would be an acceptable interlocutor for the matter, (as he called it) but he warned that the F.A.R.C. wouldn't negotiate via the Internet, as the official had proposed. On the other hand he insisted that the F.A.R.C. needed a demilitarized zone to facilitate a face-to-face meeting. That's what it could boil down to, according to them. The agreement would free the F.A.R.C.'s hostages in exchange for jailed F.A.R.C. guerrillas. |
