Colombia's army raided a rebel camp in Ecuador Saturday and killed the spokesman for the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – or FARC, for its Spanish acronym. While the assassination of alias Raul Reyes marks the Colombian government's biggest military triumph against these insurgents, the fact that Colombia proceeded without permission from the Ecuadorian government has caused serious diplomatic rifts – with both Ecuador and Venezuela.

Understanding Colombia

Colombia had every right to carry out this act in my opinion. Ecuador is not doing enough to combat the FARC. Travel to Colombia and you'll understand the political situation a lot clearer.
