 The Real Network
go to original
The recent liberation of Ingrid Betancourt and other hostages from the FARC rebels in Colombia seems to put President Alvaro Uribe in the driver's seat. Does this mean that the FARC can be wiped out militarily or is this a good time to negotiate a peaceful settlement after decades of civil war. The Real News Network Analyst Pepe Escobar talks to author and historian Forrest Hylton.
Bio: Forrest Hylton is the the author of Evil Hour in Colombia (Verso, 2006), and with Sinclair Thomson, co-author of Revolutionary Horizons: Past and Present in Bolivian Politics (Verso, 2007). He is a regular contributor to New Left Review and NACLA Report on the Americas. |
