Global Survivors Network - Speaking truth to terror

Watch Alan's story - leadership and perserverance against terrorism

Dear Friend,


Alan Jara is a Colombian civil engineer and the former Governor of the Region of Meta. After his term as Governor ended, Alan began working with the United Nations in Columbia. On 10 July 2001, while traveling in a UN convoy, Alan’s car was stopped by the Colombian terrorist group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). They kidnapped him at gunpoint and held him in the jungle with their other captives for seven years.

How does someone feel free after years spent held captive by violent extremists? Watch Alan's inspirational story and share your thoughts about his experience with us on Facebook.
