FARC, America's oldest guerrilla

Hello, today I have to do a summary of an article relate with the career that I study. I am studing sociology, in this career is very important to known what is happens in the politics of other countries. I think is more important known about the politic success of Latin America, for that reason today I choose for talk about an article related with government of Colombia and FARC. I found the article in internet in the page of CNN, the link of the article is:

http://www.cnn.cl/2013/10/27/world/americas/colombia-farc-american-hostage-released/index.html?hpt=ila_c2

The theme of the article is the liberation of a North American backpacking in Colombia from FARC guerrilla. The meaning of FARC in Spanish is “Fuerzas armadas revolucionarias de Colombia”, and FARC is America's oldest guerrilla. FARC began fighting against Colombia's government in the 1960s.

The backpacking name is Kevin Scott. He had more than four months in captivity. With the help of government of Colombia and other organizations (International Committee of the Red Cross) the prisoner was released. These institutions pushed to FARC for the release of Kevin Scott.


The importance of the news is that FARC, is currently engaged in peace talks with the Colombian government. Norway and Cuba are helping to mediate the talks. The conversation are taking place in Havana, but the situation is difficult.
