A mural for peace in Colombia

People got together in Colombia for the implementation of the Final Peace Agreement.

The streets of a little place, Siloé, in Colombia suddenly got full of young people and curious adults.

The people of the FARC (People's Alternative Revolutionary Force Party), the legal party the former FARC-EP guerrillas has changed into after the signature of the Final Peace Agreement in November 2016, had called on youngsters to join them and paint a wall for peace.

Art for peace, graffiti to say 'stop the killings' of social leaders and human rights defenders.

The FARC has taken place with its 10 deputies in the Colombian Parliament, but both inside and outside the palace right wing warmongers are trying to reduce the Peace Agreement to ashes.

Since 1 December 2016, the D-Day for the implementation of the Agreement in Havana, 113 social leaders have been murdered by paramilitaries. The State and Attorney General keep saying that there is no 'pattern' in these killings, yet the pattern is clear: those who are trying to build peace in Colombia, after almost half a century of war, are targeted.

The FARC has denounced the attempts to change drastically the Agreement also within the Parliament, through changes approved by the right wing-controlled assembly.

The 10 deputies of the FARC will try to stop these changes to the Agreement and above all will be voicing the demands of the people who want peace and not a return to war.

The new President of Colombia, Ivan Duque, is known for his links to former President and right-wing leader, Alvaro Uribe.

The FARC has said it hoped Duque will not decide to throw the Agreement and Peace into the rubbish bin. It would be important to see what Duque's first moves will be.

Colombia and the whole world are watching.
