Colombia's top negotiator in peace talks with rebel group FARC has said his country could walk away from negotiations unless unless the group shows more commitment to finding a resolution.
----------------------------------------

FARC unleashed a wave of bomb attacks on oil pipelines in recent weeks, rupturing them close to rivers and causing an environmental disaster that is expected to take two decades to clean up.

Optimism that had grown over the peace talks, boosted by the FARC's agreement to clear landmines, was shattered after the FARC ambushed and killed 11 soldiers in the country's southwest in April. That led the government to resume air raids of FARC jungle bases, in turn prompting the rebels to abandon a unilateral ceasefire.

Dimmed prospects

The FARC's insistence the government agree to a bilateral ceasefire even as its negotiators flatly reject the idea some members should pay jail time for the group's worst crimes, have also driven a rift between them and dimmed prospects for a deal.
government was prepared to consider a bilateral ceasefire before a deal is signed, if the FARC accepts judicial responsibility for the violence it has perpetrated and only if it also abstains from extortion and the drug trade.

-------------------------
Time to end this FARC farce and request Cuba extradite the FARC scum to Colombia for prosecution for war crimes.

1. That would be a step in the right direction, if you ask me

No quarrel should be given to terrorists, much less "peace talks." I hope whoever the FARC negotiatiors in Cuba are get arrested when Santos finally grows some balls and declares the FARC as an enemy of the Colombian people.

2. All the FARC leadership cares about is not being imprisoned

This supposed peace process is a joke nt
