The Colombian government and dissidents of the FARC guerrilla group that signed a 2016 peace pact, start talks with a view to demobilizing some 3,500 fighters and putting an end, once and for all, to their armed insurgency. The parties have also agreed to observe a bilateral ceasefire until January 15, according to the defense ministry. Negotiations between the government of President Gustavo Petro and leaders of the so-called Central General Staff (EMC) kick off in Tibu in the country's northeast, an area surrounded by drug crops and hard-hit by the ongoing violence.

Bogota, Jul 26 (EFE).- Colombian President Iván Duque asked the United States Monday to declare Venezuela as a terrorism promoter because, according to the president, the ELN guerrillas and FARC dissidents that carried out attacks against a military squad and their helicopter are protected in Venezuelan territories.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the macabre attack on September 11, 2001 (in the United States).- We could say that after that threatening event, the world has come together to react through international security forces, to make sure that such phenomenon is shut down and controlled with all the possible capacities.- Clearly, that consent of the dictatorial regime of Venezuela deserves to be declared, also by the United States, as a country that promotes terrorism. And that declaration should not only aim to reveal their conniving and pernicious relationship, but (should also force them) to choose their path between continuing to support terrorism or hand over terrorism to the authorities of the countries that are looking for it.

The FBI is considering adding those who attacked the US Capitol last week to the federal no-fly list. When a person checks in for a flight, his or her reservation information is checked against the TSA's Secure Flight database. The procedure includes determining whether the traveler is on the no-fly list or selectee list. On Tuesday, congressional leaders called to keep rioters off planes after they said they remained mostly in the dark from the agencies that oversee the list. Much of how the lists work, including what qualifies a person for inclusion and how many people are listed, is classified as sensitive security information. The no-fly list began in the wake of the 9/11 attacks when the FBI provided the FAA a list of 125 people who should not be allowed on planes.
Bogata, Nov 3 (EFE).- Former FARC guerrillas held a cultural day and business fair Tuesday in Bogota’s Plaza de Bolivar, expressing their rejection of violence that has claimed the lives of 236 of them since the peace agreement was signed in November 2016.Ex-guerrillas gathered in the eve at the square dressed in white and with flags with the inscription "For life, for peace," as well as with posters with which they remembered those who have died and asked for guarantees for their reinstatement.On a platform located a few meters from the entrance of the country’s Capitol, members of the Common Revolutionary Alternative Force (FARC) hung another sign in which they told Colombian President Ivan Duque "We did not sign the peace to be assassinated."
