Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa said Saturday in Lima that he is willing to step down from power if it is proved that his government has backed the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), according to DPA. Correa made this comment amid allegations by Colombian authorities that FARC - who hold hostage former Colombian presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt and over 700 others - may have given funds to Correa's presidential campaign and that the government in Quito may have granted protection to the rebels. "If they prove that, I put my position in the hands of the Ecuadorian people," Correa said.
