[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos is scrambling to salvage the nation\u2019s peace process,\u00a0sending his negotiating team back to Cuba and calling for meetings with political opponents, after voters rejected his government\u2019s deal with Marxist rebels by a wafer-thin margin.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 2, Colombians rejected the\u00a0agreement by a 50.2 percent to 49.8 percent margin, just\u00a0six days after Santos signed the accord to end the\u00a0conflict in front of regional heads of state. Turnout was 37 percent and only 54,000 votes separated the two sides.<\/p>\n
