BULLETS FOR BALLOTS: Colombians celebrate as peace deal is reached with FARC rebels.

The announcement was broadcast live on Wednesday from Havana, Cuba, where peace talks have been held for more than two years.

The conflict has killed an estimated 220,000 people and displaced millions.

President Juan Manuel Santos called the deal “the beginning of the end to the suffering, pain and tragedy of war”.

“The Colombian government and the Farc announce that we have reached a final, full and definitive accord,” Colombian government and Farc negotiators said in a joint statement.

Left unsaid? FARC was a “people’s army” founded by local Communists with support from Cuba and the Soviet Union. Having failed to inspire a revolution, FARC turned to narco-terror and kidnapping. The group’s strength today is estimated at no more than ten thousand.

Colombia is now one of the freest and richest countries in South America.

Next door in Venezuela, hardcore leftists hold complete political power, and the results speak for themselves.
