After the last four months major achievements in Colombia in dealing with the past crimes of the military, the new left-wing government now has to deal with the Armed Forces' and defence sector's reluctance to see extrajudicial executions as either systematic or widespread, as the country's transitional justice has concluded.
Nestor Gregorio Vera alias Ivan Mordisco, leader of Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia or FARC, along with nine other rebels was killed by Colombian forces in the country's southwest region last Saturday, according to Defence Minister Diego Molano.
"With the Jupiter operation against alias 'Iván Mordisco' the last great leader of the Farc falls and the final blow is given to the dissidents." the Minister tweeted on his official handle in Spanish.
