Colombian guerrillas handed Friday, February 11 in a humanitarian mission a hostage kidnapped in 2009, Armando Acuna, according to his wife. "He told me he was fine," she said after talking to him on the phone. A humanitarian mission composed of delegates including the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the mediator Piedad Cordoba had taken off in the morning from the airport in Florencia, in southern Iraq, to recover the two hostages guerrillas committed to free.
The FARC must first give him the Conservative Party Councillor Colombian kidnapped in May 2009, then a seaman, Henry Solorzano, kidnapped in May 2010. Piedad Cordoba, a former senator of the Liberal Party (center left), who has already contributed to the release of 15 hostages as a mediator, said the process would take six to seven hours.
The mission has in fact planned to recover the hostages in two points of the Colombian geography kept secret before bringing them back to Florencia and then to the capital where their loved ones are waiting. Maria Cristina Rivera, a spokesman for the ICRC interviewed by the, would not confirm the statements of Nubia Segura, adding that the ICRC would not confirm the release of the hostage after takeoff the helicopter came retrieve it.
The FARC unilaterally released Wednesday already Baquero Marcos, another Councillor. She also plans to release Sunday a police officer and a corporal in the army. These are the first hostages released by FARC guerrillas since the former defense minister (2006-2009), Juan Manuel Santos came to power in August 2010.
