Further bloodshed would only deepen those divisions. Any peace agreement requires painful compromises, particularly when both sides are responsible for numerous atrocities against civilians. Both sides have clearly had enough of war. Despite the vote, there is no turning back. I have confidence that President Santos, who has shown great political courage to get to this point, will find a way to bring the process to a satisfactory conclusion. # # # # # Press Contact Press Contact David Carle: 202-224-3693 Next Article Previous Article | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
