Violence in Colombia

To be honest, I believe that what's happening in Colombia with the rebel group FARC is a threaten to the human rights due to the large quantity of civilians that are affected. This rebel group which focuses on drug-trafficking, is also responcible for kidnapping, tortures, killings and keeping hostages, like the former presindential candidate Ingrid Beancourt.
Frankly, I think it's a shame that these kind of groups are not only allowed to exist but also to act in such a violent way.

Yes i agree, although it's true that intolerent goverments tend to breed extremist groups, more permissive inclusive societies have more moderate protests.
