COLOMBIA: Uribe riles Santos and the Farc
Former president Álvaro Uribe (2002-2010) managed to achieve the rare feat of getting the government and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (Farc) to unite this week – in condemnation of his actions. The Farc issued a statement savaging Uribe for calling on President Juan Manuel Santos to end the peace talks in Havana because the Farc had started kidnapping members of the security forces again. While the government demanded that the Farc show respect for Uribe, it was clearly irked by him itself, lambasting his decision to publish on Twitter pictures of two police officers killed by the Farc.
