August 25, 2016 - El Diamante, Caqueta, Colombia: FARC rebels Frankie and Tatiana (their noms-de-guerre) belong to a unit camped in the jungle near the village of El Diamante, in Colombia’s southern Caqueta province, where the movement will hold its final conference September 17-23rd to decide whether to accept a peace treaty with the government. Frankie, 29, joined the FARC at 14 after working at menial jobs from the age of six to support his mother. He was unable to read or write when he left school at 10 but learned to do both in FARC and says he is interested in studying law in the future. Tatiana, 36, is six months pregnant. In the past, fighters who became pregnant would have to choose between leaving the guerrillas or having an abortion, but this policy has changed with the anticipated peace. The FARC plans to hold its final conference in El Diamante September 17-23rd when delegates from fronts throughout the country will vote to accept or reject the treaty. With around 7,000 members, the FARC is Colombia’s largest rebel movement, possibly the world’s oldest, and was at war with the government for 52 years until both sides signed a ceasefire in Havana on June 23rd after almost four years of negotiations. The two sides agreed the terms of a final accord on August 24th. US Secretary of State John Kerry applauded the ceasefire but the FARC remains on the State Department’s list of terrorist organizations. As part of the peace process the FARC has renounced kidnapping and has made commitments to abandon its involvement in the cocaine trade, historically two of its main sources of revenue. Under the final agreement, the FARC will disarm and launch itself as a leftist political party. Many FARC members fear that after they disarm they will be vulnerable to assassination by paramilitary groups in a repeat of the movement’s last attempt to enter civilian politics in the mid-1980s when around 3,000 members of its Patriotic Union party were murdered by right- *** Local

August 20, 2016 - El Diamante, Caqueta, Colombia: FARC rebel couple Lucero (left) and Isauro (their noms-de-guerre) eat together at a camp in the jungle in Colombia’s southern Caqueta province. The FARC is due to hold its final conference in the nearby village of El Diamante September 17-23rd when delegates from fronts throughout the country will vote to accept or reject a peace treaty with the government. Lucero and Isauro have been a couple for several months but will split up after the conference to return to different fronts. Relationships in the FARC are often temporary because of separate postings. With around 7,000 members, the FARC is Colombia’s largest rebel movement, possibly the world’s oldest, and was at war with the government for 52 years until both sides signed a ceasefire in Havana, Cuba on June 23rd after almost four years of negotiations. The two sides agreed the terms of a final accord on August 24th. US Secretary of State John Kerry applauded the ceasefire but the FARC remains on the State Department’s list of terrorist organizations.

REPORTAGE - Kolumbien: FARC Rebellen trainieren für den Waffenstillstand
June 18, 2016 - El Diamante / San Vicente de Caguan, Caqueta, Colombia: A Colombian FARC rebel runs to talk to civilians riding on a cart on a day when the guerrillas were digging out waterlogged sections of a dirt road. The FARC has constructed thousands of miles of roads — including this one — in the areas of the countryside where the movement has effectively replaced the government as the local authority. Downpours every day during the rainy season mean roads need constant maintenance to remain passable. Even with a ceasefire in effect, many of the guerrillas keep their weapons with them at all times. With around 7,000 members, the FARC is Colombia’s largest rebel movement, possibly the world’s oldest, and has been at war with the government for 52 years. The two sides signed a bilateral ceasefire in Havana, Cuba on June 23 and are due to sign a final accord in the coming weeks. US Secretary of State John Kerry applauded the ceasefire and State Department Special Envoy Bernard Aronson has attended the Havana talks but the FARC remains on the Department’s list of terrorist organizations. As part peace process the FARC has renounced kidnapping and has made commitments to abandon its involvement in the cocaine trade, historically two of its main sources of revenue. Under the final peace agreement, the FARC will hand over its arms and launch itself as a leftist political party.

Even with a ceasefire in effect, many of the guerrillas keep their weapons with them at all times. More than a third of FARC fighters are women and many occupy command positions. The FARC has strict rules against sexual discrimination although they have not always been observed at all FARC fronts. With around 7,000 members, the FARC is Colombia’s largest rebel movement, possibly the world’s oldest, and has been at war with the government for 52 years. The two sides signed a bilateral ceasefire in Havana, Cuba on June 23 and are due to sign a final accord in the coming weeks. US Secretary of State John Kerry applauded the ceasefire and State Department Special Envoy Bernard Aronson has attended the Havana talks but the FARC remains on the Department’s list of terrorist organizations. As part peace process the FARC has renounced kidnapping and has made commitments to abandon its involvement in the cocaine trade, historically two of its main sources of revenue. Under the final peace agreement, the FARC will hand over its arms and launch itself as a leftist political party. Many FARC members fear that after they disarm they will be vulnerable to assassination by paramilitary groups in a repeat of the movement’s last attempt to enter civilian politics in the mid-1980s when around 3,000 members of its Patriotic Union party were murdered by right-wing death squads.
