Colombian Rebels Say They Share Blame For Decades Of Bloodshed -- Reuters
(Reuters) - Colombia's largest rebel organization for the first time on Tuesday accepted partial responsibility for decades of bloodshed and called for a commission to investigate the causes of the armed conflict that has killed more than 200,000.
The admission from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) came after a similar one by the Colombian government and appeared to mark some progress in peace negotiations that have dragged on for nine months in Havana while fighting continues in Colombia.
"The FARC are aware that up to now there have not been victors nor vanquished and the struggle continues," said a statement, read by rebel negotiator Pablo Catatumbo on the sidelines of the talks.
"Without a doubt there has also been cruelty and pain provoked by our forces."
