Colombia: Interview with Eberto Diaz Montes, President of FENSUAGRO (United National Federation of Peasant Farmers and Farm Workers) http://upsidedownworld.org/main/colombia-archives-61/3184-colombia-interview-with-eberto-diaz-montes-president-of-fensuagro-united-national-federation-of-peasant-farmers-and-farm-workers

The military aid of the United States and Plan Colombia constitute one of the greatest obstacles to peace in Colombia. We see every day how the US affects the situation here. The US must not continue intervening in this conflict and advocating for this idea that peace is not possible. It must stop calling the armed insurgency terrorists because this blocks dialogue and it also shows a double standard regarding political violence in the country.
