The process of engaging politically in peace efforts is crucial for resolving conflicts without violence and severing the ties between politics and armed struggle. For over five decades, the FARC emerged as an armed opposition group in Colombia, initially justified by their pursuit of political ideals but later tainted by activities like kidnappings and drug trafficking.
Because they are interested in participate in politics and aspire to that such participation can take place in a security stage. However, I personally think that this point is not only important for the revolutionary group.
The government is betting on a pact that, in the words of Humberto de la Calle, chief negotiator for the Colombian government,"Deepen and strengthen our democracy, promotes the pluralism and the political inclusion, the political participation and the transparency in the electoral process".

political participation in the peace process
More than 50 years ago, the FARC were born an armed opposition group has since appeared justified in the search for political ideals, with the passage of time is distorted leveraged by kidnappings and drug trafficking.
It is the way to handle conflicts peacefully and the final breaking of the connection between politics and weapons.
