FARC Leader Says All Members Are Committed to Peace Talks

HeadlineSep 30, 2015

The leader of the Colombian rebel group FARC, or the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, says all its members are committed to the peace talks. This comes after the Colombian government and FARC announced an historic breakthrough last week in the talks to end the five-decade conflict that has killed more than 200,000 people. FARC leader Rodrigo Londoño, known as Timochenko, said the group would continue to work to implement its agenda, but without violence.

Rodrigo Londoño: “We must create an environment where all of these fights will be continued—the fight for land, the fight for rural development, the fight for public services in the cities, the fight for better healthcare. The essence of all of this is for us to achieve these goals without shooting at one another.”
