The Agent Who Went into the Warm
Proceedings against Werner Mauss in Colombia are to be suspended. He has decided to remain in the country for the time being, however. An encounter with a man used to living life on the edge.

Regional talks accepted in Colombia / Germany’s role
miz. BOGOTA, February 20. Although the past weeks have witnessed repeated outbreaks of heavy fighting in various parts of the country between the Colombian armed forces and the two largest guerrilla groups, the Ejército Nacional de Liberación (ELN) and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC), some hints of slow progress in the negotiations between them and the government in Bogotá are beginning to emerge. Negotiations with the leadership of the ELN, the most radical of the leftist guerrilla groups, have tended to be regarded as one of the major stumbling blocks to peace in Colombia, a country that has been torn by civil war for more than 30 years.
