Quite an historic peace deal that again shows that only talking and the forgiveness of horrific crimes can solve ongoing conflict.

Yes it's very good news that at least there is hope there

That death toll is as staggering as it is appalling and that together with the horrendous rich/poor divide there gives me no great confidence Colombia will suddenly be all peace and light

Somehow I figure they don't tech Colombian history in too many USA schools, their role in the conflicts there dates back to before WW2 and is utterly shameful

Colombian voters have apparently rejected the peace deal in a referendum.
