ELN wants US to assume responsibility for Colombia’s armed conflict

The United States should take responsibility for its role in Colombia’s armed conflict, said local rebel group ELN on Sunday.
The ELN is holding exploratory talks with the administration of President Juan Manuel Santos, while the much larger FARC rebel group is engaged in formal talks with the Colombian government to seek a negotiated end of 50 years of armed conflict.
In an editorial on its website, the group praised Washington’s recent decision to appoint a special envoy to these talks.
“We welcome this decision by the US, but we believe that their role should not remain to be that of an innocent observer, or an illustrious adviser, or a happy composer, and much less the impartial judge,” the ELN said.
