| F.A.R.C. Guerrillas of Colombia Make Demands For Peace Talks |

| F.A.R.C. Proposes A Security Zone For Seventy-Two Hours In Exchange For Ceasefire Negotiations The (leftist) F.A.R.C. (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia-Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) guerrillas will ask the National Government for a security zone in the South of Colombia for a period of seventy-two hours so they can meet face to face with the High Commissioner for Peace, Luis Carlos Restrepo, in order to discuss the conditions of (the proposed) "humanitarian exchange" (an exchange of F.A.R.C. prisoners held in government prisons for hostages held by the F.A.R.C.) The proposal will be formally made this week. According to the television news program "Noticias Uno" (News One) Restrepo (the government's negotiator) & the F.A.R.C. spokesmen Carlos Antonio Lozada, Felipe Rincón & Fabiän RamÃÂrez will attend the meeting. Of the three days proposed by the F.A.R.C. for the meeting the first day would be used for the F.A.R.C. spokesmen to safely get to the meeting place, the second for the actual negotiations related to the "humanitarian exchange" (prisoner swap) & the third would be used for the F.A.R.C. to leave the area. During this time the (Colombian Government's) Armed Forces ought not leave the area, but rather should gather themselves together in their garrisons, as happened when the F.A.R.C. let a group of soldiers & policemen go during the presidency of Ernesto Samper (1994-1998.) |
