So this is how one of the longest conflicts in world ends: not with the revolutionary forces taking the state, but with a whimper.
The longest-running war in the world comes to an end today
"The Colombian conflict started as a rural uprising in the 1960s.
It has drawn in various leftist rebel groups, right-wing paramilitaries and drug gangs over the decades.
The violence has left 260,000 people dead, 45,000 missing and nearly seven million displaced, according to official figures.
Human rights groups say atrocities have been committed on all sides. Many families are still searching for missing loved ones.
The accord covers “the laying-down of arms, security guarantees and the fight against the criminal organizations” accused of fueling the conflict, the statement said."
My guess is that the Colombian left, both those who never took up the gun, and those who did, will end up being marginalized by this.
