COLOMBIA: Farc leadership bolsters presence in Cuba
Four members of the seven-strong leadership committee of the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (Farc) are now in Cuba participating in the peace process. The presence of the Farc secretariat doubled with the arrival in Havana last week of ‘Pastor Alape’ (Felix Antonio Muñoz Lascarro) and ‘Carlos Antonio Lozada’ (Luis Antonio Lozada) at the head of a group of some 18 guerrillas, including several senior commanders. Many of these will join a sub-commission with representatives of every branch of the Colombian armed forces led by the head of the joint command, General Javier Flórez Aristizábal, to discuss the logistics of guerrilla disarmament and an eventual ceasefire.
