Colombia’s government and far-left FARC rebels will announce on Wednesday that they have reached a final peace agreement, government officials told several media.
According to British press agency Reuters, three officials close to the negotiations confirmed the deal. Bogota newspaper El Tiempo also cited a government source claiming the negotiations had ended.
