Colombia: Clashes with Guerrillas.

Colombia: Clashes with Guerrillas.

Seven soldiers and 11 guerrillas died during two separate clashes on Monday, less than three weeks before elections to choose mayors and governors nationwide. Guerrillas of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia attacked an army convoy with explosives in the mountainous southwest of the country. In the second clash, the Colombian air force bombed a guerrilla camp in the north.

What is the first thing that comes up to your head when someone sais Colombia? When I hear it I think of the terrorist group FARC. Its sad to recognise a country by a terrorist group or guerrillas, but the truth isnt always pretty. The article wasnt very good, but I just wanted to point this out, terrorism. A term that just by listening to it scares me, it's something that should be our first priority. We have to take care of, it's a question of Global Security and the respect to human rights.
