"FIDEL CASTRO AND HUGO CHÁVEZ PLAYED ROLE IN COLOMBIA'S PEACE TALKS WITH FARC"

"Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez played role in Colombia's peace talks with Farc
 
Meetings in Havana paved the way for negotiations that open in Oslo on Wednesday on ending long-running civil war

The ailing former Cuban leader Fidel Castro, together with Venezuela's recently re-elected leader Hugo Chávez, played a critical role in bringing the Colombian government and the deadly Farc guerrilla group together for peace talks that could end one of Latin America's longest-running civil wars, the Observer has learned.
According to sources closely involved in the peace process, which sees historic talks opening in Oslo on Wednesday, the key breakthrough after almost four years of back-channel talks between the two sides came during a visit earlier this year by Colombia's president, Juan Manuel Santos, to Cuba, where he met both Castro and Chávez, who was in Cuba being treated for cancer.
That meeting was the first of many in Havana between the two sides, facilitated primarily by Cuba and Norway with the backing of Venezuela, which saw agreement on the detailed agenda for the first round of talks this week. "Officially President Santos went to Cuba to discuss the Americas summit," said a source intimately involved in the peace negotiations. "But the purpose of that trip was to discuss the peace initiative."
The meetings earlier this year followed the decision last year by Santos to take the step of recognising that an "armed conflict" existed in his country, an initiative encouraged by Chávez since 2008. Those contacts also came in the same period that Farc announced it was ending kidnapping, one of five preconditions for talks that had been set down by Santos as a gesture of goodwill.
Farc and the government have been at war since 1964, with the group more recently accused of having taken a directing role in coca production in areas it controls, an issue that will be on the agenda for the talks.
But in what is being billed as the best chance to bring about a negotiated end to the long-running conflict, the Colombian government delegation will sit down with Farc leaders whose Interpol arrest warrants have been suspended to allow them to travel to Oslo without fear of arrest.
The government delegation, for the first time ever, will include retired generals with the trust of the country's military and representatives of Colombia's business elite, whose presence, it is hoped, will help sell any peace deal that emerges to those hostile to the process.
After the failure of the last round of peace negotiations, which foundered 12 years ago, top of the agenda will be the issues of land reform – Farc's key demand – political participation, the disarmament of the guerrilla group and the issue of paramilitaries who have in the past sought to torpedo any deal.
The disclosure of the key role of Cuba in organising support for the peace process marked the culmination of a long period of back-channel talks first initiated by Santos's predecessor as president, Alvaro Uribe, under whom Santos served as minister of defence.
During those four years contacts continued despite the death during an army operation of Farc's leader, Alfonso Cano, last year.
Others credited with having created the conditions for the talks in Norway are unnamed former participants in the Northern Ireland peace process.
The talks are due to begin amid warnings from both sides, as well as observers, that a serious threat exists from those on both sides of Colombia's political divide who might attempt to use violence to derail the process.
The attempt to reach a negotiated peace settlement foundered over a decade ago as both sides accused the other of stalling and rebuilding their forces, a period, observers say, that saw a doubling of anti-Farc paramilitaries.
A senior Colombian government source, who briefed the Observer on condition of anonymity, described the chances for talks as the best ever, adding that the Santos government had already enacted a new law for land reform and victim restitution. "President Santos is a pragmatist. He has already presented to congress a framework for an agreement. Colombia was already moving into a post-conflict phase, in some respects, even as the conflict continues. It is the right moment. Farc have a historic opportunity – probably the last – to find a solution to this conflict with dignity. To go into history and say they fought for social justice. To say they fought for land reform.
"We want to see 'Timochenko' [Rodrigo Londoño Echeverri, who took over command of Farc after Cano's death in 2011] in Colombia's congress just as we have seen Gerry Adams in the Northern Ireland assembly."
The sense of a guarded new optimism is shared by outside observers, including Marc Chernick, a US academic who has followed the history of Colombian peace negotiations and written The Farc at the Negotiating Table. Speaking from Colombia on Friday, Chernick said: "I've observed all the previous negotiations and I have been optimistic before, but this time I believe there is a real seriousness on both sides that has not been shown before.
"In the past Farc has always asked for a demilitarised zone as a precondition and this time it has not pressed for that. Four years ago it started to release prisoners, first civilians then military, and then renounced kidnapping.
"Clearly they want to talk. And they stayed at the table for the pre-negotiations even though three senior leaders were killed, including Alfonso Cano.
"Santos is clear, too. He was former minister of defence under President Uribe. They pushed the war as hard as they could and killed leaders. Now he has recognised that it will go on indefinitely. So Santos has come to the conclusion that only a negotiated solution is possible."
Chernick – like the senior government source – warned of the risk of violence during the peace talks from those, particularly on the right, opposed to peace with Farc, not least, he says, from paramilitaries who, although officially "disbanded", are still active and supported by elite sectors of society.
"What is different this time," added Chernick, "is that both sides have signed up to the idea that the intended end of the peace talks is the end of the conflict."




A LOSING BATTLE

The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc) has been fighting a guerrilla conflict since 1964. Formed by Marxist-Leninist intellectuals, it claimed to represent the poor against the ruling elite and the stranglehold of the US.
By the 1990s it had become one of the richest guerrilla armies in the world, financed through kidnapping, drugs and illegal gold mines. In 2008 several Farc leaders, including Alfonso Cano, right, were killed, weakening the group, which is now led by Rodrigo Londoño, better known as Timochenko.
The Colombian military says the rebels' strength is down from 16,000 fighters in 2001, when they controlled nearly a third of the country, to about 8,000 in rural areas."

"Colombia, FARC delay arrival for peace talks in Norway




OSLO/BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombian government negotiators and Marxist rebels have delayed their departure for peace talks in Norway aimed at ending nearly half a century of conflict but still plan to arrive in time for their only publicly scheduled event on Wednesday, Norway said.

Colombian officials, expected to have arrived in Norway over the weekend, will not come until Tuesday because of "logistical difficulties", a Norwegian government spokeswoman said.

It remained unclear when the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) would arrive.

The sides agreed to start talks in the first two weeks of October but had already delayed their arrival once to iron out details for discussions, which will he held under the principle "nothing is agreed until everything is agreed."

FARC leader Timoleon Jimenez told RCN and "La FM" radio in Colombia that there had been logistical delays in getting Ivan Marquez, a member of the seven-member secretariat and FARC negotiator, to Cuba and other issues regarding arrest warrants.

"According to the prepared schedule for pick up, our comrade's group was the last. For security reasons, our people do not move to the site until the time and date to pick them up is confirmed," Jimenez, also known as Timochenko, said.

Timochenko said that delays in lifting international arrest warrants for some FARC delegates were also a source of the lag.

The interview was broadcast on Monday. Timochenko responded to pre-written questions, and sources at the local media stations said that the recording was received early on Monday and was likely made on Sunday.

Timochenko, who took over the FARC after the previous leader was killed by Colombian forces in 2011, did not say whether Marquez had made it to Cuba yet nor when the FARC delegation was expected in Norway, but reiterated the rebels' commitment.

"We'll arrive in Oslo or wherever the installation (of talks) is performed," he said.

"The table in the name of reconciliation of Colombians is a reality, the desired space to get on the road to peace and social justice is open."

Norway, which has acted as a negotiator between the sides for years, declined to discuss the delay and a foreign ministry spokesperson said the sides still plan to attend a press conference on Wednesday, their only public event.

Norway and Cuba have agreed to act as guarantors at the talks while Venezuela and Chile would "accompany" the talks.

"STRONG LIKELIHOOD OF AN AGREEMENT"

Timochenko confirmed earlier reports that Dutch national Tanja Nijmeijer, alias Alexandra, would make up part of the FARC negotiating team.

The newspaper El Espectador said Colombia refused to accept her because she was not a Colombian citizen. Rebels, however, argued that the terms of their agreement allow them to freely pick the members of their team.

A 10-year military offensive has weakened the FARC but has been unable to end the conflict, leaving President Juan Manuel Santos vulnerable ahead of elections in 2014.

Peace talks have already failed several times in the past.

Negotiations in Oslo are expected to focus on laying the groundwork for later discussions and the parties are then expected to move to Havana for the substantive part, which will focus mainly on land, drugs and political participation.

"We see a strong likelihood of an agreement some time by spring of next year, as both the FARC and President Juan Manuel Santos will probably be keen to come to an agreement before the 2014 presidential elections approach," Heather Berkman, an analyst with Eurasia Group, said in a research note.

"Given the government's success in reducing FARC troop numbers, eliminating leaders, and diminishing the armed group's morale over the last decade, as well as lessons learned from previous (failed) attempts at peace talks, there is strong potential for the negotiations to yield a real peace agreement."
