US KEEPS UP THE PRESSURE ON THE FARC

The commander of the FARC 36th Front, who was arrested in Guatemala recently, was later extradited to the United States, to face pending drug and weapons charges pending against her. Sonia Cruz Quinceño's prosecution is a clear sign that the US is continuing to pursue the FARC leadership, notwithstanding the extensive peace talks taking place in havana, with the Government of Colombia.

With the FARC in military disarray, but still failing to bargain in good faith, actions like these will continue to disrupt the FArc, and keep Country Risk on Colombia at acceptable levels.
