COLOMBIA: Santos designates new post-conflict minister
President Juan Manuel Santos appointed Rafael Pardo as his new post-conflict minister this week. Santos argued that Pardo had all of the qualities to assume this important responsibility. Pardo does have some valuable experience: he played a pivotal role in the negotiations that led to the demobilisation of the M-19 guerrilla group, as presidential peace adviser, in 1990. But his appointment serves a clear political purpose too.
