Venezuela has cut ties with Colombia, after being accused of harbouring FARC rebels.

At a meeting of the Organisation of American States (OAS), Colombian ambassador Luis Alfonso Hoyos demanded an international commission investigate sites in Venezuela where the guerrillas are believed to be hiding.

He accused Caracas of helping rebels responsible for kidnappings, drug-trafficking and murder.

Speaking at the OAS meeting, Hoyos said: “Colombia does not want to return to this nightmare. And I say to the people of Venezuela, don’t let yourselves be enslaved by this nightmare. It is a tragedy we have suffered.”

The Organization of American States (OAS) is to hold a special meeting on 22 July to hear Colombia’s complaint that Venezuela tolerates Colombian rebel camps on its territory.

Venezuela strongly denies the charge.

It has accused Colombia’s President, Alvaro Uribe, of trying to provoke a diplomatic crisis before he leaves office next month.

“Colombia has the right to denounce in front of the international community the presence of guerrillas in Venezuela”, Colombian Interior Minister Fabio Valencia said.
