Ecuador announces cease-fire
Peru denies deal, sends more troops to border skirmish
The Associated Press
QUITO, Ecuador — Ecuador announced a cease-fire yesterday to end border clashes with Peru about a remote jungle region, but Peru kept sending in troops and refused to confirm that any agreement had been reached.
No fighting was reported yesterday. Ecuador's armed forces said several skirmishes erupted Monday, wounding one Ecuadorian soldier.
More Peruvian troops—including counterinsurgency forces—traveled toward the border by river boat and trucks, even as diplomats gave mixed signals about whether Peru would accept the cease-fire, which Ecuador said took effect at noon.
In Lima, Rosa Jiminez, a foreign Ministry press official, said Peru had not yet accepted the truce. But Peru's acting ambassador in Quito, Vicente Rojas, overrode her comments, saying Peru had made no official statement on the cease-fire.
Ecuador said the truce was reached through the mediation of the United States, Argentina, Brazil and Chile, guarantors of a 1942 treaty that was supposed to define the border.
Diplomats from those four countries met yesterday in Rio de Janeiro, and representatives from Ecuador and Peru were expected later.
Ecuadorian President Sixto Duran-Ballen warned that Ecuador would boycott the talks if there was no unconditional cease-fire.
Yet Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori, who is up for re-election in April, may be concerned that any show of weakness could undermine his re-election chances.
"Fujimori can only produce a cease-fire if he can convince the population that Peru has effectively recovered some ground," political analyst Mirko Laurer said in Lima.
Peruvian media reported that Peru — with a much bigger and better-equipped military — continued reinforcing the border. Among those dispatched were jungle warfare experts who have been fighting
guerrillas and drug traffickers in the Huallaga Valley.
Six deaths have been confirmed since fighting fueled by nationalist passions on both sides began last week.
The 50-mile section of unmarked border was left over from a 1941 war lost by Ecuador, which was forced to give up its claim to an area of jungle that would have doubled its Colorado-sized territory.
But news reports said that at least 30 Peruvian and Ecuadorian soldiers had died in the clashes in the Cenepa River region 220 miles southeast of Quito.
An Ecuadorian army captain in Fort Condor, headquarters for Ecuador's military border operations, said the Peruvian military was conducting psychological warfare.
"They're discussing on radio frequencies monitored by Ecuador plans to bomb certain sites at specific times, but the raids never take place," he said.
The two sides last fought over the area in 1881, and each side periodically accuses the other of invading the region to stake claims to gold, uranium and possible oil deposits.

Joe Bauman Teaches Us About Lawrence
As Dean of the University of Kansas Business School, Joe Bauman helps thousands of students become the visionaries and business leaders of tomorrow.
Joe believes business students need the liberal arts curriculum the Business School provides. As he says, "People need a

broad education because we need to be trained as critical thinkers who understand why, not just how." Evidently, his mission has been a success the University of Kansas Business School is currently considered one of the finest schools in the nation.
Like many faculty members, Joe Bauman belongs to the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. People look to him for advice on issues facing local businesses.
Many of the business school students Joe has taken under his wing also participate in the community. They provide support for local small businesses under the direction of the Small Business Development Center. Some also participate in the Kansas Innovation Center—a corporation that helps guide start-up businesses. As Joe explains, "KIC chooses the most promising businesses and helps them incubate. That means supporting them so they can work together and share a wide
range of services. Interns from the School of Business will be key to the organization and the success of those ventures."
Joe understands the role of students in Lawrence, because he also graduated from the University of Kansas. After spending many successful years with IBM, he returned to work in Lawrence. Joe says it's simple, "Lawrence is a great place to live. It's easy to get around. It's safe and people here have a reliable work ethic. The University also provides a tremendous resource for sports, arts and music."
"As a bank director, I'm able to learn about the community, the economic environment and I get a better feel of where the stress points are."
Joe belongs to the Commerce Board of Directors because we value his varied and insightful perspective.
As for the role of Jerry Samp, President of Commerce Bank, Joe feels, "A bank should have an impact on the life of a community. And I believe Commerce Bank and Commerce Bankers are solid citizens of Lawrence."
That's something we can all learn to appreciate.
