Politics + Violence = Lack of democracy

 

After going around the country encouraging people

to pray for peaceful elections in Colombia next year

(the presidential election is due to take place on 25th May 2014),

I found this article in a newspaper, reporting the results

of a report on political violence in Colombia:

 

Between 31st December 2011 and 13th November 2013

there were 314 cases of political violence:

85% were threats, 8% were attempted murders,

5% were murders and 1% were kidnappings.

 

So I guess the message is: keep praying!
