Obama’s projects and proposals have shifted to the background after he became the candidate of hope and change. I mean, electoral promises became hidden within the vital need for the US to actually recover its role and spaces of democracy in the world.

Here it comes again. Venezuela-Colombia relationships enter a limbo which gets them closer to hell, this time because of the INTERPOL report claiming the absence of manipulation on the laptops seized at the camp where FARC’ second top chief aka Raúl Reyes was killed in March.

This is the second blow against FARC and its allies in a little more than two months, because INTERPOL’s certification implies an independent warranty that the proofs found at the Ecuadorian camp were not contaminated.

A popular revolt in 1948, a peaceful march sixty years later. And politics remains as the rake sweeping the aspirations of men and women who only wish to live in peace, above the soil we happened to be born.

With the 4 April demonstration the issue of a coming release of Colombian-French former presidential candidate Íngrid Betancourt, or at least, the medical treatment scheduled unilaterally by the President of France, is over.

As hours pass by, Colombia crisis with Venezuela and Ecuador gets worse and the initial good sense by Colombian government is turning into a rowdy spirit which does nothing to its solution.

Colombian government said Monday morning in a statement that “it will not make troop movements to the borders” with Ecuador and Venezuela because “Colombia does not have a warmonger tradition and its only interest is to recover its internal public safety”.
