Fresh from winning a Nobel Peace Prize, Colombia's President Juan Manuel
Santos must find a way to implement the complicated peace agreement that
ended a 40-year civil war. Battling criminal gangs, restoring land to displaced
people, and absorbing tens of thousands of guerrilla fighters back into society
will be a difficult task. Coca and corruption remain huge problems, and Mr.
Santos’ ruling party must fend off a powerful adversary in Alvaro Uribe, an
opponent of the peace deal who will challenge in next year’s elections.
