Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos has said that he wants to enter into a bilateral truce with the Farc rebel group on 1 January 2016.
Despite having been engaged in peace talks with the left-wing rebels for almost three years, the government had always refused to declare a ceasefire.
The Farc, who have been observing a unilateral ceasefire, have repeatedly called on the government to join them in the truce.

I see the government has announced that FARC has to gather it's forces into designated areas and keep them there before any peace deal is signed - can't see that going down to well with the rank and file.

They're going to need a better deal;a peace pact will need to involve a reason to end this futile negotiation money as a means to end the fighting.
