BOGOTA, Colombia 鈥� Colombia鈥檚 largest rebel group is trying to rally support for peace talks with a new rap video.
The fast-paced video that began circulating on social media Tuesday is called 鈥淐olombians, everybody to the peace talks.鈥� It was produced by negotiators in Havana for the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia along with Cuban rappers Cuentas Claras.< >
Dutch-born guerrilla Tanja Nijmeijer features prominently in the video, which exalts the FARC鈥檚 role as a defender of Colombia鈥檚 poor farmers.
Interspersed with images of abuses by security forces and U.S.-funded fumigation planes is a message of optimism about the nearly two-year-old talks.
In a statement accompanying the video鈥檚 release, the FARC says that 鈥渢o reach peace, we must learn to speak without fear, without taboos.鈥�
