哥伦比亚总统延长与反政府武装的停火

发布时间：2016-10-17 编辑：查字典英语网小编

Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said Thursday he agreed to extend a cease-fire deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in hopes of reviving a failed peace accord.

The original cease-fire agreement between the Colombian government and the FARC was due to expire at the end of October, but will now extend through the end of the year.

Voters narrowly rejected the deal with 50.2 against, or by a margin of just 54,000 votes. The result came as a shock to Colombian leaders as public opinion polls leading up to the vote forecast the referendum would pass by a two-to-one margin.

Santos is engaged in ongoing negotiations with FARC representatives and opposition politicians to strike a new peace deal, though expectations for a deal remain low because FARC leaders refuse to budge on the already-signed peace accord and opponents say the rebels need to accept tougher terms.

Many "no" voters were genuinely offended that nearly all FARC rebels will avoid prison time for crimes allegedly committed during the uprising and get various financial support from the government.

哥伦比亚总统桑托斯星期四说，他同意延长与哥伦比亚革命武装力量的停火协议，希望挽回遭遇挫败的和平协议。

双方最初的停火协议将在10月到期，现在要延长到年底。

哥伦比亚选民50.2%的反对票，即仅五万四千张选票的微弱优势推翻了和平协议。这个结果令哥伦比亚领导人感到意外，因为投票前的民调显示，公投将以二比一的优势通过。

桑托斯总统正设法与哥伦比亚革命武装力量代表和反对派政界领袖商谈新的和平协议，但人们对新协议的期待不高，因为哥伦比亚革命武装力量不愿意在原来的协议基础上让步，而反对派则表示，哥伦比亚革命武装力量需要接受更为苛刻的条件。

在全民公决中投反对票的民众对协议感到不满，因为几乎所有哥伦比亚革命武装力量成员都不用为据信在反叛行动中犯下的罪行承担牢狱之苦，而且还能得到政府的各种经济资助。
