Only yesterday 25 members of the National Guard revolted against Maduro's leadership.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2019 answer text <p>I strongly condemn the ELN's terrorist attack in Bogota last week. Colombia has been steadfast in its rejection of violence for political ends. The 2016 historic peace deal has shown the way, the FARC is now a political party and last year's elections were the safest in decades. The UK continues to support the Colombian authorities as they seek to ensure sustainable peace for all Colombians. Last month I announced an extra £5 million from the Conflict Stability and Security Fund to support Colombia's efforts to secure lasting peace for all its citizens.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 22/01/2019 16:36:48 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

Of these, 15 are duplicate entries, which means that some incidents will have been recorded on more than one occasion likely because of the incomplete nature of Non-Governmental Organisation and media reporting upon which the MOD relies to update the &quot;Tracker&quot;.</p><p>The MOD does not assess allegations of IHL violations.
