and cuba is involved in the week is involved i have to think that though to go through the going for of the world but they must go through quickly that they have the desired impact and stop the long view and this isn't the first hostage negotiation that you've actually taken a part of as that well no we did so in the syria one. on the saddam hussein and brought to the rub a good bit about what is so in cuba the native former did so and and their rock and yugoslavia and syria on the saga did so a lot of the river did so in the in the gun was that we've done six or seven times a week on the know how to do it as a matter of timing and jasmine we we know how to do this and we want to do it because release your hostage is always a key to a peaceful conflict resolution and finally do you think that the red cross is prepared to arrange this release and actually do it successfully. the red cross is prepared to do logistics not be negotiators and that's the role that they should play the flop moss a person that they can trust and so the colombian government which is faya both of them agree on
