Three years after the peace talks with the FARC began, President Juan Manuel Santos implied that he would have to resign if the Colombian people reject an eventual peace deal.

Thursday marks three years since the official start of the talks in Havana, Cuba. They have taken longer than expected but many things have been achieved and the negotiations are due to conclude on 23 March 2016.
