Jump To Comment: 2 1113 ecuadorian migrants have been confirmed drowned as they attempted to go somewhere else and a plane crashed you probably know that.
one of the Colombia 3 has left Terenure police station you probably know that too.
http://www.rte.ie/news/2005/0818/colombia1.html
Farc have rejected the parley proposals of Uribe which were outlined in the last comment. You probably didn't know that, Uribe has concluded today that an imminent peace process is not happening, and yesterday US ambassador William Wood said that they were only looking for a tactical delay and weren't interested in chatting at all.
Meanwhile another extradition case has opened between Argentina and colombia, Colombia claims Argentina is proving to be safe-haven for terrorists, this is because 6 "ex-members" of FARC are claiming asylum there.
So far coverage of the Colombia 3 in spanish is limited to the BBC and Spanish based news agencies. The spanish claim the three men handed themselves in answer to a call from Mary Harney the vice prime minister.
the BBC spanish crew, say the protestants of ulster are very upset at the double standards.
everyone agrees that there is no extradition agreement between colombia and ireland.
{Interestingly everyone agrees there is no extradition agreement between Serbia and Spain either, but one of the wanted for March 11 was arrested in a Serbian controlled muslim enclave yesterday which is just a sign of the forgotten little chechnya we had here in europe a few years ago}
As of half an hour, according to commercial latin american press FARC have rejected the proposed meeting with representatives of President Uribe in the highland region of Aures, where on the table was meant to be the exchange of prisoners / hostages.
[150 colombian soldiers for 600 farc prisoners is the deal.]
According to an article published on Colombia indymedia a short while ago, FARC are proposing a 30 day ceasefire in the region of Florida y Pradera instead.
http://colombia.indymedia.org/news/2005/08/29488.php
FARC considering it a safer region for a prisoner exchange than Aures proposed by the government as I reported here :-
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=71380&condense_comments=false#comment117933
Meanwhile there has been no let off to the violence, the latest victims of FARC being 2 catholic priests who died on a road which had been mined by the "33rd front" of FARC the men are named as Vicente Rozo and Ramón Emilio Mora.
Nor the conflict, the leader of "29th front" of FARC Orlando Cardozo, was arrested the day before in a Colombian state operation in the province of Meta, capital Villavicencio, 126 km outside of Bogotá.
******************************************************
In related issue news, the armed group AUC which earlier this year announced an end to its armed campaign against the Colombian State is now hopeful that a "Amnesty law" or law of pardon will be passed by the government in Bogotá. the proposed "pardon" would be extended by slight revision of the "Justice and Peace law" measures which entered law on July 25th 2005. It is said that such measures aimed at promoting dialogue and the search for a peace settlement will be extended to FARC as well - if they "parley".
