The three month freeze seems to be ending in peace talks between the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia ( FARC) and the government. The talks are scheduled to resme Wednesday. Both sides seem to be making consessions [is this too strong a way to put it?]. A FARC leader, Jorge Briceno, made an unprecidented apology for civilian killings by the FARC and said they plan on confining their use of weapons to those less likely to kill civilians by accident. And on Monday a Columbian General was convicted of failing to prevent a paramilitary massacre. Retired General Jaime Uscategui was sentenced to 40 months in jail in Columbia's first ever conviction of an army general for paramilitary violence. One of the reasons the talks stopped was the FARC's demand of more government action against the paramilitaries.
