Summary of the week:Peace process• Minister of Justice ensures that reprieves to guerrillas will be effective in 2016. Yesid Reyes Alvarado said that the verification process of the 30 pardons

granted by the Government is now going forward.• 'Gabino' ensures that negotiations between the ELN and the Government agenda "have been agreed". The guerrilla commander said he hoped that, at the

beginning of next year the beginning of dialogues can be made public. However, he warned the need for a bilateral ceasefire.• 'Iván Márquez' questioned delays in release of pardoned guerrillas. The Government has said that these accusations have no justification whatsoever.• Up to now only three of the 30 guerrillas who will be pardoned are compliant. The Minister of Justice, Yesid Reyes, pointed out that the verification process

has taken too long.• The Embera indigenous who have been displaced in Colombia, peace is a "lie". Despite advances in Havana, many are still afraid to return to the lands that

were cut off by the violence.• The leader of the FARC, Rodrigo Londoño, alias 'Timochenko', said that the pending discussion about the peace process, as the bilateral ceasefire and the

delivery of weapons, are "extensive, complex and delicate", so it should not be subjected to "pressures and fatal deadlines".• The National Government highlighted the significant advances in exploratory talks with the guerrillas of the ELN, which advances from January 2014 in

Ecuador, in order to initiate a peace process similar to the one the Executive has with the FARC guerrillas for more than three years in Havana.• Uribe disapproves the peace process one more time. To almost thousand days of the start of negotiations between the Government and the FARC, the

former President criticized the possibility that the guerrillas do not go to prison. Analysis:We started the 2016 with a hope that should have been consolidated before. While there is no doubt that the Government has done everything within its reach to accelerate the peace accords in Havana, the reality is that any post-conflict with the FARC will find a Colombia with serious economic problems that will condition the political landscape and the landing of what is agreed. However, that is no reason to doubt the success of this historic effort, but it should be at the head of all the parties involved at the time of making promises and claim benefits. That will depend to a large extent, if we consider 2016 as a success or a missed opportunity.Of course the issue is not only of economic model. The social investments necessary to create a new Colombia are in sight. To ensure a true end to the conflict the State will need to be present in all the places where historically it has been absent, and we refer not only to the Public Force. What measures will be taken to begin solving the gap of inequality between social classes and regions in the country? In education, for example, the project ‘Ser Pilo Paga’ is an excellent example of how interventions that may cause immediate changes can be made, but we are in debt from a better education policy that goes beyond the coverage and ensures quality.Effects:President Santos is preparing peace summit. The peace process between the Government and the FARC will undoubtedly be the main source of news this year. The purpose of this meeting is to define the positions of the Government at the peace negotiations meetings about the remaining issues that make reference to the so-called end of the conflict, and that means promptly bilateral cessation of fire, the path of combatants’ reintegration and the delivery of weapons. In addition, proposals for endorsement and implementation of the peace agreements will be treated. (In development)On January 7th, President Juan Manuel Santos will analyze the final stage of the peace process which is moving forward with the FARC guerrillas, in Havana. For this appointment international advisers and negotiators of the Government have been called.
