Millions of Colombians are expected to protest the FARC terrorists today in Colombia. The protests were organized by a Facebook user on the internet.
The BBC reported:

Colombians around the world have begun a day of protests against the Marxist rebel group Farc.

The ‘No More’ movement, launched on the internet, will culminate with a major protest in the capital, Bogota.

Farc rebels pledged at the weekend to release three high-profile political hostages for health reasons. No handover date was given.

…Colombian expatriates held ‘No More Farc’ demonstrations in the Japanese capital, Tokyo, and in three cities in Australia.

In Colombia, marches are planned for 45 cities.

The BBC’s Jeremy McDermott says school has been cancelled across much of the country so that children can join in, and many businesses have given their workers permission to march.

The protest was started on the social networking website Facebook by a 33-year-old engineer, Oscar Morales, from his home in Barranquilla on Colombia’s Caribbean coast. Over 250,000 Facebook users signed on, and the movement was taken up by newspapers and radio and television stations across the country.
