President Alvaro Uribe will be inaugurated for a second term this Monday after easily winning reelection in May. Though crime rates have diminished across the country, Uribe still faces daunting challenges ahead of him such as leftists insurgents that do not want to go down quietly, high numbers of displaced people in the northern and southern parts of the country, and an uneasy peace process with paramilitary factions.
