Alfonso Cano, the Leader of the Farc was killed in an air raid on Friday, November 4th, 2011. The Farc is a Marxist-Socialist group that became a rebel force financed by drug trafficking and kidnapping. Alfonso Cano had been pressed charges for drug trafficking and the State Department offered a $5 million reward for his capture. In the past years, the Farc has suffered many losses of its' top leaders who have been killed during combat. However, there will always be someone else waiting to take the place of the leader who had been killed. I believe that the only way the Farc could ever be taken down would be by stopping them from drug trafficking and stopping their flow of income. Is this the only way of putting a stop to the Farc? If not, then what other ways could be used and how would it work?
