Colombians are participating in demonstrations scheduled for today, April 9, in support of the peace talks between the government and FARC. They are also remembering the murder of presidential candidate Jorge Eliecer Gaitán, whose killing -65 years ago today- kicked off a wave of violence that has not ceased. You can follow reports and reactions under FARC, Gaitán, #9deAbrilporlaPaz [April 9 for peace], #Ahorasílapaz [Now peace], and #SomosGeneracióndePaz [We are a generation of peace] on Twitter.
