Colombia News-Santos

Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos began his tour on Sunday of the United States to talk about the upcoming peace dialogues with the country’s largest guerrilla group FARC.

According to the president’s website, on Wednesday Santos will meet with the UN General Assembly to speak, among other engagements, “of the [peace] process, of course, we will talk. Also we will talk a little bit about the summary of what we have done as members of the Security Council and some of the issues that are on the table in the international arena.”

The president will also return to his alma matter, Kansas University, on Monday where he will allegedly receive the Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award, according to Kansas newspaper LJ World, and talk to the students and faculty, presumably in part about the peace talks that are set to take place at the beginning of October in Oslo, Norway to end Colombia’s 48-year-old armed conflict.
