Colombia imposes June 2013 deadline for peace talks

Colombia’s government has given a deadline of six to eight months to largest guerrilla group FARC to achieve advances in peace negotiations, reported Caracol Radio Wednesday.

The national government has imposed the time limit of June 2013 for advances to be made in the peace agreement that was recently signed and made official in Havana, Cuba.

Caracol Radio also reported Tuesday that FARC guerrillas would allegedly make it official on Wednesday the designation of two other negotiators in the table for peace with the government.

Second head of the FARC’s eastern block Luis Antonio Lozada Gallo and commander of the FARC’s western block Pablo Catatumbo would allegedly be joining guerrillas Ivan Marquez and Jesus Santrich in negotiations with Colombia’s government.

Emissaries of the guerrilla group FARC, which formed in 1964, will begin peace talks with the government in the Norwegian capital of Oslo on October 8 and continue later in Cuba’s capital Havana in attempts to end the armed conflict that has devastated the country for the past 48 years. These are the first major peace talks between the two groups since negotiations last failed in 2002.
