Colombia's peace deal in limbo after shock referendum

Colombia's government and Marxist guerrillas scrambled on Monday to revive a plan to end their 52-year war after voters rejected the hard-negotiated deal as too lenient on the rebels in a shock referendum result that plunged the nation into uncertainty.

Any renegotiated peace accord now seems to depend on whether the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) could accept tougher sanctions against them.

"No" voters, who narrowly won Sunday's plebiscite, want assurances the rebels will hand in cash from drugs, spend time in jail, and earn their political future at the ballot box rather than get guaranteed, unelected seats in Congress.

Good for Colombia in a close election.

FARC should be eradicated alongside with Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram, ALF, ELF, Greenpeace, etc.

If the deal had won in the referendum, Obozo would be claiming credit for it, somehow, and trying to boost Hitlery.  It sounds like a terrible deal to me.
