Thanks Texas Fossil. When you wrote NM, did you mean Managua or New Mexico? With Costa Rica, the current President is Laura Chinchilla Miranda. I’m taking a 6 day trip to Costa Rica in September, so will learn more. As it’s about Venezuela, with Nicolas Maduro winning the election, Venezuela will continue supporting FARC with their negotiations & Venezuela will continue allying with Cuba-their main ally.
But Texas Fossil, since Venezuela morally supported FARC guerillas in asking that they be removed from terrorist group after first being neutral, do you think that Venezuela’s Chavez regime armed FARC ? Colombia has as I understand a 65 year war with FARC along with their war against ELN-19-el ejercito de liberacion nacional. While negotiations have been going on in Cuba, Colombia is still fighting with FARC. As said, ex Colombian President Alvaro Uribe opposes negotiations with FARC because he says it benefits Venezuela’s Chavez & now Maduro regime.
My knowledge of FARC, Venezuela & Colombia comes from watching Spain TV on Internet & seeing an interview that ex President Alvaro Uribe did with Jorge Ramos on ABC where again, he said he opposes negotiating with FARC as it benefits Venezuala. If you know more, please give your view of what you think of this. Most Colombians recently said they support negotiations with FARC but are skeptical if anything good will happen. Finally, does Venezuela also supporty ELN-19? I know it’s alot, but hope you can help as I think you know more about this & guessing that you’ve been throughout Iberoamerica.
NM was for New Mexico. I lived there form 1972-1986. Was politically involved in the mining district in SW NM.
I will have to delay my response to the rest of your post for later. Only have a few moments now to spend at the computer while I drink a cup of coffee. Full day underway.
