Tension In South America
March 06, 2008 2:15 PM
Venezuela /Colombia/ Ecuador: Colombia's decision to attack leftist rebels across the border in Ecuador has become South America's most volatile crises in years. Ecuador and Venezuela sent thousands of troops in response to the Colombian attack, which killed two dozen rebels including Raúl Reyes, a top FARC revolutionary. Ecuador rejected a Colombian apology. At an emergency meeting of the Organization of American States, a resolution was approved that declared the incursion a violation of Ecuador’s sovereignty. Meanwhile, President Hugo Chavez warned that Venezuela would consider any violation of its border as an act of war. Colombia complains that Venezuela and Ecuador have long provided refuge to leftist Colombian guerrillas who are fighting the government.
