With upheavel as the main focus of Colombia it continues yet again. The history of conflict is not new nor does it stay the same. Ecuador has been one of three countries that has stood up against the attacks on rebels that Colombia has been pursing. While Colombian officials have gone beyond their own boarders looking for rebels Ecuador is stating now that there will be serious consequences and dipolmatic tensions if any of the latest victims are actually citizen of Ecuador and not Colombian rebels. Ecuador has said that they would not be able to forgive Colombia if Franklin Aisalia was killed during one of the raids into Ecuador. The raid was on Farc rebels in Ecuador and Aisalia relatives are stating that he was killed during the raid. To me it seems that it is not justified that the Colombian government is going into neighboring countries to fight rebels. There seems to be no good coming from these raids. Tensions are getting tighter and it only seems to be getting worse. The Colombian government needs to think before they act and try diplomacy with Ecuador not fighting. There will need to be a group effort to create peace not more trouble.

I agree that Columbia has to right to be invading the countries around them but the situation there has be so long and on going that it seems that they have almost run out of, maybe the international community should offer more, real opportunities for change?
