Colombia’s FARC leaders arrive in Bogota ahead of peace signing | Reuters

BOGOTA The leadership of Colombia's Marxist FARC rebel group arrived in Bogota on Monday for meetings ahead of the signing of a new peace agreement with the government to end a half century of war, the insurgent group said.The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) has been in talks in Havana, Cuba for the last four years, hammering out a deal to end a conflict that has killed more than 220,000 and displaced millions. The latest accord aims to satisfy objections made by millions of Colombians who voted down the original deal in a referendum last month. It is still not clear how the new accord will be approved, but it seems likely it will be ratified in Congress rather than via another plebiscite.President Juan Manuel Santos, who won the Nobel Peace Prize last month for his efforts to end the war, is expected to sign the new document with FARC leader Rodrigo Londono, but the timing has not yet been announced."National secretariat of the FARC is in the city of Bogota for meetings about the implementation of the definitive accord," Nuevo Colombia, the FARC's press unit, said in a Tweet
