nice plaza, nice cityHere's a story you almost certainly missed, mostly because hardly anyone would ever bother to report a good news story about LatAm in the English media.
Yesterday Peru and Ecuador reached the 10th anniversary of peace between the two nations that followed on from the Cenepa war and the ensuing diplomatic freeze. In those ten years governments have come and gone on both sides of the Ecuador/Peru border, but both countries deserve praise for the efforts they have made to nuture the peace, as today both countries really are close allies and strong trading partners once again.
Tomorrow Presidents Twobreakfasts and Studmuffin are going to get together in the pretty Ecuador border city of Machala (photo above) to celebrate the peace and goodwill, and to mark the occasion they will be accompanied by their respective cabinets of ministers. Otto sez "yay" to all this and applauds both countries and their Presidents for marking this 10th anniversary in fine style. Give peace a chance.
