ELN: Let's not forget these guys

With so much talk about blows being dealt to the FARC and the death of their leader Manuel Marulanda, you'd almost forget there's another guerrilla group in Colombia sowing death and destruction. FYI, the ELN, or Ejercito de Liberacion Nacional is still alive and killing.

Less inclined to forget them are the family and friends of the 240 people the ELN is still holding hostage. Some of them for over eight years.

The Fundación País Libre - an organisation dedicated to the victims of kidnappings - is touring Colombia with a video about the ELN and there criminal practices. In the past ten years they have kidnapped around 3,500 people, 145 of which died while in captivity according to Pais Libre.

Peace talks between the government and the ELN in Cuba broke down last year and an attempt to restart them in April hit a brick wall when the guerrilla's negotiator was dismissed by the ELN high command. On May 28th the ELN published a letter on their website suggesting they would like to work together with FARC. That news came only a few months after John Carlin reported that the two guerrilla groups were fighting each other in Venezuela for control over the local drug trade.

If you're in Bogota on July 10, you can catch the video there.
