Bolivian President Urges
Colombia, Rebels To End
Conflict
Bolivian President Evo
Morales has called on
the Colombian government
and the country's rebels
to reach a political
accord to end their
conflict, the Bolivian
dailyLa Razon reported
Sunday.
The fight for liberation
and against injustice
should not claim lives
of ordinary people, the
newspaper quoted Morales
as saying.
He added that an
agreement between the
government and the
Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Colombia (FARC)
is the best way to halt
the conflict in the
South American nation.
The 17,000-strong FARC,
the largest rebel group
in Colombia, has been
fighting government
forces since it was
founded in 1964.
Government troops have
launched several attacks
on the FARC since the
beginning of this year.
