Excerpt:

Colombia's struggle against the rebel group known as the FARC became a regional crisis this week, after Bogota launched airstrikes into neighboring Ecuador and killed a top FARC leader. Now, Ecuador and Venezuela are both amassing troops at their borders with Colombia and have cut diplomatic relations with their neighbor. Join Kojo as we make sense of the complex situation and examine the role being played by the U.S.
