This article talks about the recent appointment of Mayor of Bagota where president Mr.Santos of Columbia had personally endorsed a senior politician for such a role. How ever the tone is first set up explaining how Columbia had seen a considerable reform under the regime of Mr.Santos, after going through a tragic Civil war. he points out how dealt negotiations with FARC (Revolutionary Armed forces of Columbia) putting an end to civil war. some of the good conclusions done through these negotiations were reforms on agriculture, involvement of political personnel in military decisions and drastically reduce links with Drug mafia. One of the major concern though is still under negotiation talks as the president was not happy to provide impunity to terrorists in response to FARC providing justice to those who were effected through demobilization. Thus supporting Mr.Santos re election in the recent elections for Columbia.
However, there are certain instances where though the presidents intentions were true to his nature, they are not seen to the best interest of the party or the country. As Amnesty international's report stated that human rights violation is still in action even though peace negotiations were still continuing. The article concludes that it is high time that the president take into consideration on what is best for the country's interest and prevail peace specially when dealing effectively with organised crime and drug lords. Since Columbia emerged as the third largest economy in latin America, recently, it is expected from the Columbian government to start respecting human rights even if it means to take decisive mandate thus gaining the confidence of people of Columbia who are willingly rowing with the changing tides.
