Today the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced
its choice of Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos for his efforts to
negotiate with the FARC rebels an end to Colombia’s fifty-year civil war that
caused the deaths of over 220,000 and the displacement of six million of its
citizens. Despite the Colombian citizens’ rejection of the peace agreement last
Sunday President Santos is committed to bring Colombians into dialogue to forge
an amended agreement that will bring peace and reconciliation.
