I didn't get a chance to read the whole article but was responding to a question on the title, which used "acabar". Words can have different meanings in different dialects, but the way we use this word in my family is like to complete or finish something. We would say terminar if we meant to cancel it.

But as I said I did not read the whole article for any context and in any case I believe this had to do with a specific situation in Sidor.
