Tensions Dialed Down in Latin America

Tensions are easing in Latin America after the presidents of Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela agreed to end a border dispute. There had been talk of war after Colombian forces crossed the border into Ecuador last Saturday to hunt down down guerrillas from the rebel group known as the FARC. Ecuador demanded an apology from Colombia for the incursion, and Venezuela jumped into the fray and deployed troops along its border with Colombia.

Brazil's ambassador to the Organization of American States, Osmar Chohfi, was one of the diplomats who negotiated an end to the confrontation. Chohfi talks with Jacki Lyden.
