News about Colombia shows the tragic story of an armed conflict that has lasted more than 50 years and has left victims in almost every family in the country. In some cases, the rebel groups, called “guerrillas,” have been portrayed as the “army of the people.” Echeverri will present facts arguing why this statement is not true. From a Colombian perspective, she will present the truth behind this conflict and the hope for achieving peace.
