Last month, The Cipher Brief published a feature commentary on the prospects for peace in Colombia. This month, we continue that conversation with Frank Mora, the former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Western Hemisphere Affairs. Mora offered his thoughts on the status of the negotiations between Bogotá and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). 

The Cipher Brief:  Recently the Colombian President and the leader of the FARC announced a six-month deadline for reaching a peace agreement.  How would you assess the likelihood of them meeting this goal?

“The Cipher Brief has become the most popular outlet for former intelligence officers; no media outlet is even a close second to The Cipher Brief in terms of the number of articles published by formers.” —Sept. 2018, Studies in Intelligence, Vol. 62
