Uribe ends opposition; Colombia congress approves FARC demobilization zones
Posted by Adriaan Alsema on Mar 10, 2016
Colombia’s Congress unanimously voted in favor of the creation of special areas where FARC guerrillas will concentrate in the event of the demobilization of Colombia’s largest and longest-living rebel group.
The congressional benches of the coalition, the leftist opposition and the conservative opposition on Wednesday approved the proposal, which includes the creation of several demilitarized zones.
In these areas, and under the supervision of the United Nations (UN) and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), demobilizing FARC guerrillas can concentrate, and begin their process of demobilization, disarmament and reintegration.
The zones allow the security forced to identify dissident FARC units and guerrillas who refuse to demobilize.

Thank you for bringing this good news to DU!
He's been fighting it like a wild man.
It might be that the current investigations which are focused on his brother, now, the one who founded the death squad paramilitaries, are getting too close to him, and he wants to duck some of the heat that will be coming at him if he keeps fighting to keep the war going.
Sure hope nothing will jinx a good outcome.
