I mean.... seriously. BBC NEWS | Americas | Many die in Colombia clashes

New clashes in Colombia have left 48 people dead, according to the military. Ten soldiers and 21 right-wing paramilitaries were killed in fighting near Villanueva, 325km (200 miles) east of Bogota, an army spokesman said. The government has ordered a crackdown on paramilitaries after repeated violations of a ceasefire deal. In other clashes, 17 Marxist guerrillas were killed in an operation near Llano Grande, 545km (340 miles) north-west of the capital. Four soldiers were injured in those clashes, which took place in the province of Antioquia. The BBC's Jeremy McDermott in Bogota says the army has launched offences against the left-wing Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc) as President Alvaro Uribe seeks to reassure Colombians that he is winning the 40-year civil conflict. Ceasefire tested The crackdown on right-wing paramilitaries comes after several ceasefire violations were reported by the United Nations. The paramilitaries are engaged in the peace process - and a ceasefire was the government pre-condition for negotiations. Our correspondent says the government had tried to ignore the violations rather than risk the peace process unravelling. But now, he says, human rights groups estimate that 600 people have been murdered by the paramilitaries in recent months and the UN has got involved. There are about 10,000 paramilitary groups under an umbrella organisation, the United Self-Defence Forces of Colombia (AUC). The paramilitaries have been a major force in Colombia's civil war since the 1980s, fighting left-wing rebels.
