has been she yes, barbara, she gave a felton very emotional speech to the last one, to speak at the event. probably because she is the better known victim the highest profile hostage more than 20000 people that far has kidnapped doing the countries internal conflict. a practice that became systematic as a way to finance their war against the columbia state the end. while bits of course said that she was hopeful for the future of this country, and that as she believed that while imperfect the peace deal is an instrument for this country to try and he'll the deep wounds of war. she also said that she wanted more from the far commanders from her captors that she met for the 1st

time face to face. she said that she recognized that the far in the asked for forgiveness that they do recognize their responsibility in these crimes. but that unlike the victims, none of the 5 members that spoke did cry or show the kind of em, but the she was expecting your mrs. see talk. you stay busy. i need you to compress that you feel this shame. this is for social shame. not because colombian society is complaining about what you did or is it wednesday, or is it the shame of the soul? you know, i wanted to hear you talk from your heart. no, not in political terms,

from your heart on strong emotional words. they are understandably, and as you mentioned, lasandra cor, was not the only victim to speak of the event. a number of far commanders also spoke. what did they say? and i guess more generally, what was the tone of the event? do you think that this will actually help bring the country closer to reconciliation? to the commissioner said that it was very difficult to organize the event as it be, as it has been the case for these kind of situations where victims in victory, miser, come together. try to understand what, what happened. try to explain to the come through what happened and look for a way forward, but the tone was overall a painful one. some of the victims said that they were ready to forgive the fact
