RPR Peace Mail_January 3 to January 9

Abstract

After the United Nations conducted a review of the video that showed agents of the MM&V dancing with FARC members on New Year’s Eve in one of the pre-grouping zones, they announced on January 5th that they would be separating the three individuals in the video from the mission along with their supervisor, naming a guarantee of impartiality in operations as the motivating factor. FARC leader, Rodrigo Londoño, advanced a second call for attention to the medical care and provisions for FARC members in pre-grouping zones. Separately, a report released by a commission of the Governor’s Office of the department of Antioquia requested a different site for the FARC transitional zone, currently planned to occupy the hamlet of Carrizal in the Remedios municipality. ELN dialogues moved to January 12th, confrontations continue.
