COLOMBIA: Details of demobilisation divulged
President Juan Manuel Santos and the maximum leader of the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (Farc), ‘Timochenko’ (Rodrigo Londoño Echeverri), heralded the most significant milestone in the current peace process in a ceremony in Cuba on 23 June attended by various heads of state and other luminaries. Details of the accord on a definitive bilateral ceasefire and guerrilla disarmament and demobilisation were provided for the first time, including, crucially, the zones where Farc guerrillas will be concentrated for up to 180 days from the signing of the final peace accord to hand over weapons to United Nations (UN) verification teams.
