ECUADOR/COLOMBIA: Correa Offers To Act As Mediator With FARC.

AP/ MIAMI HERALD/      President Rafael Correa told AP that he would be willing to mediate an end to Colombia's long-running conflict with leftist rebels as well as attend the 7 August inaugural of President-elect Juan Manuel Santos, though diplomatic ties are still frayed and no formal invitation has been sent.
    Ecuador's relations with Colombia ended after its military crossed into Ecuador in March 2008 pursuing FARC rebels. Hundreds of thousands of displaced Colombians live in Ecuador, which is also a refuge for the FARC.
