The Inquiry: Can Colombia Reintegrate The FARC?

The Essential

Available for over a year

Former fighter Boris Forero describes being brought up in a Communist household and joining the FARC when he was 19. He spent several years in the jungle with the guerrillas, who have fought a 50-year war with the Colombian government. Today he works with a government organisation that helps former fighters reintegrate into Colombian society. He says that it will be easier for those expected to lay down their arms in the coming months to reintegrate as a group than for those who did so individually.
