Uribe urges meeting with FARC, guerrillas say No

written by Stephen Gill November 22, 2016


Colombia’s Marxist FARC rebel group on Tuesday rejected a request from former President and primary opponent of peace with the group, Alvaro Uribe, to meet over their impending peace process.

. . .

Uribe is one of 24,400 (former) state officials accused of crimes against humanity.

. . .

The continued staunch opposition of Uribe has been questioned because of his personal interest in the deal.

Uribe’s brother is currently in jail awaiting trial on multiple homicide charges that could be transferred to the Transitional Justice Tribunal. The former president himself is expected to be investigated over the executing of thousands of innocent civilians by the military under his watch.
