POLITICS & SECURITY: Lights and shadows in the peace process
As the Havana peace process between the government led by President Juan Manuel Santos and Colombia’s main guerrilla group, Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (Farc), edge towards conclusion, the government is striving to make the process more transparent, to secure public support. In a significant watershed, it has made publicly available the partial agreements reached so far. However, revelations that President Santos allowed top leaders from the Farc and the country’s smaller guerrilla group, Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN), to travel to Cuba in a bid to expedite the process has prompted fresh criticism from opponents of the talks about what exactly has gone on behind the scenes.
