The agreement was made public in a formal ceremony at the Conventions Palace in Havana in the presence of negotiators from the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, as well as representatives of the talks’ guarantor nations of Cuba and Norway and observer states Venezuela and Chile.

The parties reached agreement on issues such as access to and use of land, idle or unproductive land, determining property rights and protection of the Reserve Zone, according to a joint communique.

Colombia and the FARC also reached consensus on development programs with a territorial focus, infrastructure and rural social development in areas such as health care, education, housing and the eradication of poverty.

The joint communique said that the agreement is “the start of radical transformations in Colombia’s rural and agrarian reality with equity and democracy,” and it “focuses on the people, the small producer, access and distribution of land and the fight against poverty, stimulating agricultural production and reactivating the rural economy.”

Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said that the accord was a “fundamental step toward a full agreement to put an end to half a century of conflict,” and Colombian Senate chief Roy Barreras called it “a great historic and irreversible step.”

This release, obtained through "peaceful resistance" has raised a national debate: the possibility of resisting violence without needing to use weapons has demonstrated the effectiveness of human solidarity movements.

"I will return, and I will then be millions" prophesied the Aymara Indian leader Tapak Katari, in 1781, at the time of his execution by the Spanish conquistadors.


100 million in 1492, the Indians were no more than 4,5 million one century and half later. Currently there are 44 million Indians populating Latin America.

In spite of their great diversity, the Indian movements take on more and more importance. In Ecuador, Guatemala, Bolivia, Peru, Mexico or Colombie they are opposed to the neoliberal system that governs the Americas, while protesting against the imposition of the American economic market. . ... continuación.
