Diplomatic tensions between Colombia and Ecuador appear to persist, despite Colombian Foreign Minister Fernando Araujo's announcement this week that he would like to re-establish relations with the neighboring country after Colombia's unauthorized military incursion into Ecuador this month. Today, Araujo accused Ecuadorian rebels of carrying attacks against Colombian farmers who eradicate coca plants, and is calling on Ecuador to coordinate border security. Meanwhile, hundreds of indigenous people have been forced to flee their homes in Colombia, due to combats between the Colombian Army and FARC guerrillas. Manuel Rueda is in Tacueyo, southern Colombia - where the fighting is taking place.
