FARC guerrilla fighter
and delegate in the peace negotiations, Alexandra Nariño, speaks to
teleSUR about her 14 years with the rebel army / Source: telesurtv.net.
Alexandra
Nariño is not Colombian, yet the impending end of the South American
country’s 50-year
civil war between
the government and left-wing rebel forces represents “enormous
happiness” for her.
That’s
because the Dutch national has been fighting within Colombia’s FARC
guerilla army for 14 years. After living in the jungle in FARC camps
for about a decade, for the last four years Nariño
has played a key role in the peace process in
Havana, Cuba, that aims to transition Colombia out of the
longstanding internal conflict and toward a new era of peace.
