Colombia Plunged Into Uncertainty As Voters Narrowly Reject Peace Deal With FARC Rebels
Colombians rejected a peace deal with Marxist insurgents in a referendum on Sunday, plunging the nation into uncertainty and dashing President Juan Manuel Santos’ dream of ending the 52-year war. Before the referendum, Santos was confident of victory. He said a “no” vote would be “catastrophic” and that he would return Colombia to war if the deal was rejected.
