Kuro5hin posts a detailed summary of the current situation in Columbia which has been misreported and undereported in the American press.
Colombia is no insignificant country. It’s the third most populous country in South America, and covers more land than Texas and California combined. It’s the worlds leading producer of emeralds, and has a huge coffee and coca industry. It’s also embroiled in a massive civil war.
