Untitled. De twee internationale experts die Catherine de Zegher opvoerde, hebben de collectie-Toporovski nooit onderzocht. 'Zes maanden lang heeft het museum onderzoek gedaan naar de collectie’, zei Catherine de Zegher, de directrice van het Museum voor Schone Kunsten, maandagavond in de cultuurcommissie van de stad Gent. ‘In die periode waren er twee externe experts volop bij betrokken. Magdalena Dabrowski en Noemi Smolik waren zo enthousiast dat ze een expositie met de werken wilden maken. Ik heb daar concepten van en kan u de documenten tonen.’ Nochtans zegt geen van beide specialisten ooit een vraag voor een expertise te hebben gekregen, laat staan dat ze die uitvoerden. Meer zelfs, beiden hebben De Zegher geadviseerd haar handen niet te verbranden aan deze collectie. Eén element in de verklaring klopt wel. Van voorafgaand onderzoek is er evenwel geen sprake. Geschandaliseerd ‘Ik stond perplex van al die kunst in dat huis’, zegt Dabrowski.
Niet de laatste verrassing. Timochenko - Colombia news | Colombia Reports - Waterfox. Rodrigo Londoño Echeverry, better known as “Timochenko,” is the current commander-in-chief of the FARC, Colombia’s largest and oldest guerrilla group. The rebel leader is just the third supreme commander of the FARC in its nearly 50-year history. Timochenko was “unanimously” chosen by the seven-man ruling body of the FARC known as the Secretariat to replace the deceased Guillermo Leon Saenz, alias “Alfonso Cano” in 2011. Known as a hardliner with over 30 years of military experience, Timochenko was selected over Luciano Marin Arango, alias “Ivan Marquez,” the more politically savvy candidate. The FARC leader was born in Calarca, a municipality in the eastern part of Quindio in Colombia’s coffee region on January 22, 1959 just three hours away from Genova, the birthplace of FARC founder, Pedro Antonio Marin, alias “Manuel Marulanda Velez.”
Upon returning home to Colombia, those who knew him said he had become decidedly more radical. Related Assumed location of Timochenko. Tanja Nijmeijer - Colombia news | Colombia Reports - Waterfox. Tanja Nijmeijer is a Dutch citizen who has been a high-profile member of the guerrilla group FARC since 2002. She is part of FARC’s negotiating team in the ongoing peace talks with the Colombian government.
Early years Born on February 13, 1978, Nijmeijer began her life in the small Dutch town of Denekamp. Upon finishing high school, Nijmeijer enrolled at the University of Groningen, one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the Netherlands, where she studied Romance languages and cultures. Nijmeijer made her first trip to Colombia in 1998. The daughter of a middle class civil servant, Nijmeijer was apparently shocked at Colombia’s extreme inequality and high levels of violence.
When she returned home a year later, Nijmeijer began taking a strong interest in left-wing social activism. “I said to myself, the world can’t be this way — something’s got to change,” she recalled in one of the interviews with Botero.

Source: Foreign Policy in Focus With speculation now centered on how Superstorm Sandy’s impact may affect the U.S. election result, the final presidential debate, which focused on foreign policy, might seem like a distant event to American voters. But for the rest of the world, this was an event that mattered As many pundits have noted, if the rest of the world were voting in the U.S. presidential election, the third presidential debate would probably have proceeded differently. But since only about 200 million people on earth are eligible to vote for the man whose policies will impact all of us, the evening, as expected, turned into an exercise in imperial chest-thumping.
President Barack Obama dredged up former Secretary of State Madeline Albright’s assertion that “America remains the indispensable nation” to remind American voters of what a great gift to the world their country is.

Saturday, 31 December 2011 09:58 Despite a steady electoral base and international recognition, Piedad Cordoba is one of Colombia 's least popular politicians because of her friendly relations with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and ongoing accusations of ties to guerrilla group FARC .
Cordoba, born in the city of Medellin in 1955, has received international acclaim for her successful efforts to negotiate the liberation of hostages held by rebel group FARC. However, she is also subject to a criminal investigation over her alleged ties to that guerrilla group and was banned as senator for "aiding and promoting illegal armed groups" like the FARC. Cordoba's early years Before being barred from holding public office for 18 years, Cordoba had spent 26 years serving as a public official. In the local elections of 1988, Cordoba was elected member of the Medellin city council; a position she held until 1990 when she unsuccessfully tried to run for Congress.
