FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
President Juan Manuel Santos has repeatedly demanded Langlois’ liberation, but
his defense minister on Tuesday said they were not going to negotiate with “terrorists.”
The Farc started as a Marxist peasant movement in the 1960s and later turned
to kidnapping, extortion and drug trafficking. The European Union and the
United States have labelled the Farc a terrorist group.
Following a US-sponsored crackdown, the Farc has lost steam in recent years.
Several top commanders have been killed and its fighting force is said to be
dwindling.
However, the drug-funded group is still a force in remote jungle areas, and
has carried out a string of attacks on oil and mining projects in recent
months.
Many youngsters in rural areas, where unemployment is high, voluntarily join
the Farc ranks every year, but rebels sometimes kidnap children and force
them to join their armed struggle.
In February the group said it would stop taking hostages for ransom to pay for
weapons, uniforms or food. It did not say, however, that it would stop
kidnapping for so-called political means to pressure the government.
