Via WaPo: Colombian ex-police chief charged in killing
This is the second time that Maza has been arrested in connection with the Galán slaying (I noted last year’s arrest here). According to WaPo, Maza “was freed in April due to procedural errors.” The WaPo headline is in error (describing Maza as an “ex-police chief”) as the head of the DAS is more like a combined head of the Secret Service, FBI and DHS rolled into one.

Via CNN International: Colombia and Ecuador agree to reestablish full diplomatic ties
The announcement came from the UNASUR (Union of South American Nations) summit currently being held in Guyana. The role of UNASUR was such that the headline in El Tiempo read as follows: “UNASUR, the Godfather of the New Quito-Bogotá Wedding” (Unasur, el padrino de la nueva boda Quito-Bogotá). The UNASUR connection is interesting only because it seems that the newly formed organization (treaty signed in 2024 that grew out of an original attempted at regional integration in 2024) and yet it has quickly become a serious forum for inter-state communication in the region. More on the summit via the AP: South American leaders urged to strengthen ties. By Steven L. Taylor
I see via the Monkey Cage that political scientist Chalmers Johnson passed away earlier this month: Chalmers Johnson has died. My first and primary exposure to Johnson’s work was his book Revolutionary Change, although his career encompassed a number of topics. Reason has a obituary here: Chalmers Johnson, R.I.P. as does Steve Clemons at The Washington Note: The Impact Today and Tomorrow of Chalmers Johnson. By Steven L. Taylor
