FARC and Colombia`s government reach a new peace agreement
The government of Colombia has reached a new agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) six weeks after voters narrowly rejected a previous deal.
The new agreement to end the continuing Colombian armed conflict which has been raging since 1964, “includes changes, precisions and additions from the most diverse sectors of society,” the government and the FARC, said in a joint communique.

The new agreement aimed at addressing the concerns of opponents of the original deal clarifies the conditions under which FARC leaders would be deprived of their liberty. In early October voters rejected the original deal by 50.2 percent to 49.8 percent.
