The formidable rebel commander has finally surrendered to the Colombian government
The highest ranking woman in the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) was Nelly Avila Moreno - more widely known by her guerilla name, Karina. She was part of the organisation for about 25 years and has been implicated in numerous shootings and kidnappings, yet last month听she听surrendered to government forces. Jenni talks to Anastasia Moloney, a freelance journalist in Bogota, and Hernando Alvarez, Current Affairs Editor of 麻豆官网首页入口 World Service鈥檚 Latin American Section. They discuss why women have been so prominent in the armed struggle against the Colombian government, why Karina has decided to withdraw from the fight, and the implications for FARC鈥檚 most famous hostage, the kidnapped presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt.
