COLOMBIA: Santos makes final call for unity
“Let’s change history. Let’s change the way we do things. Let’s not stop hope that leads us to a better life.” With these words, President Juan Manuel Santos appealed for unity in support of the peace process that his government has been advancing with Colombia’s leftist insurgent guerrillas. His appeal came during a speech marking the start of the last of his eight years in office, and shows that he is very much aware that a lot still needs to be done to secure the future of the peace process.
