Colombian Air Force Attacks Rebel Positions in Cauca

The Colombian Air Force launched new attacks on rebel positions in the southeast department of Cauca. Last week a skirmish between government troops and Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia fighters threw a monkey wrench into the peace process. In response, President Juan Manuel Santos said the suspension of airstrikes on rebel positions would be lifted. Local campesinos criticized the attacks, saying they undermine the peace process. teleSUR
