Farc declared a two month unilateral ceasefire on Monday in Havana, Cuba, following landmark talks between Farc and the Colombian government.

Ivan Marquez, Farc's negotiator, said that they would halt all attacks from midnight on Monday, till 20th January.

 

The government's top negotiator, Humberto de la Calle, had previously said that Farc must agree to disarm, and that the army would continue fighting Farc till a peace deal was signed. There has been no response as yet on the unilateral ceasefire.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
