COLOMBIAN former liberation movement guerilla leaders Ivan Marquez and Oscar Montero have written an open letter this week to the country’s parliament, accusing President Ivan Duque’s government of reneging on the country’s peace agreement.
While reaffirming their belief in peace as the only way forward for Colombia, the two leaders of Farc — previously the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, now the People’s Alternative Forces of Colombia — accuse the United States-backed right-wing government of systematically destroying the peace accords concluded in late 2016 in Havana, with Cuba and Norway as guarantor countries.
The scale of their desperation can be measured by their self-criticism over how trustingly they participated in the peace process.
