Colombian Rebels End Ceasefire After Gov’t Rejects Pact

HeadlineJan 21, 2013

Rebels in Colombia have announced an end to a two-month unilateral ceasefire declared amidst peace talks with the government. The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, says it would have extended the truce had the government been willing to sign a new accord. But Colombia rejected a pact, saying FARC has violated its ceasefire pledges multiple times. Military attacks against the FARC have continued even after rebels and the Colombian government began meeting for peace talks in Cuba late last year.
