美洲持續最長的戰爭以簽署和平協議告終

A final peace agreement between Colombia's government and a national guerilla movement is to be signed Monday, bringing to an end the longest-running insurgency in the Western hemisphere.

“It's the end of the last full-blown guerrilla warfare inspired originally by Cuban and Soviet ideology against democratic institutions in this hemisphere,” is how it is characterized by a senior U.S. administration official.

The conflict between the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), whose funding was primarily derived from the country's illicit cocaine industry, is blamed for leaving dead more than 250,000 people and displacing at least five million.

Sixteen heads of state and two dozen foreign ministers, including U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, are expected to attend the signing ceremony at the convention center in the Caribbean port city of Cartagena, founded in the 16th century.哥倫比亞政府和一個全國游擊隊組織將於星期一簽署一項最終和平協議，從而結束了西半球持續時間最長的反叛運動。

美國政府一位高級官員形容說：“這意味着最初受古巴和前蘇聯意識形態影響對西半球民主體制發動的最後一場全面游擊戰就此結束。”

哥倫比亞政府與“哥倫比亞革命軍”之間的衝突，被認爲造成了逾25萬人喪生，至少5百萬人流離失所。哥倫比亞革命軍資金的主要來源是非法的可卡因產業。

16個國家的首腦以及20多個國家的外長，包括美國國務卿克里，預計將參加在加勒比海港口城市卡塔赫納會議中心舉行的簽字儀式。這個城市始建於16世紀。
