Uribe criticizes foreign support for Colombia’s peace process

Colombia’s former President, Alvaro Uribe, on Friday criticized foreign governments that support his country’s peace talks with rebel group FARC, accusing these countries of “ignoring” security issues.
Using his most common outlet for criticism, social media network Twitter, Uribe said, “Foreign governments ignore security deterioration in Colombia where the Santos administration offers impunity to terrorism.”
Uribe and his supporters have become increasingly politically isolated since the hardline president left office in 2010. While a substantial minority of Colombians have expressed criticism on the peace talks in polls, the almost entire Congress has expressed its support for negotiating peace with the FARC.
Internationally, the peace talks have received almost unanimous support from foreign governments and prominent former world leaders.
