A vote tor peace

摘要

In May 1964 the Colombian army launched an attack on a small group of communist sympathisers in the village of Marquetalia. Fifty years and tens of thousands of deaths later, the conflict with the guerrillas of the self-styled Revolutionary Armed Forces ot Colombia (farc) is still not over. But the chance of a lasting peace is in sight-if voters give Juan Manuel Santos, the current president, a second term on June 15th.
