The advances of the negotiations between the government and the FARC-EP in Havana become more concrete and hopeful every day. The announcements made by the chief negotiators from the government’s and guerrillas’ negotiating teams regarding the declaration of a bilateral ceasefire and cessation of hostilities in the country is a signal that we are advancing down definite paths toward the ending of the armed conflict between these two parties. What’s more, the FARC-EP, which up until now has been reluctant to accept the concentration of its combatants in specific zones of the country, have taken a definitive step toward approving the sites suggested by the Santos administration for that purpose.
