Colombia's Santos gives peace yet another chance

Wednesday, September 5, 2012


"Any responsible leader knows he can't let pass up a possibility like this to end the conflict," President Juan Manuel Santos told the nation in announcing an accord with the peasant-based FARC rebels to seek "a definitive peace."

It will be the fourth such effort in three decades.

The pact, signed Aug. 27 after six months of secret exploratory talks in Cuba, calls for talks to begin in Norway the first half of October, then return to Havana.
