Farc likely to delay dates for disarmament

FARC

rebels need the UN to reschedule the dates for Colombia’s disarmament process, as the country readies to implement a peace deal, they said on Tuesday.

The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) are due to demobilise, starting March 1, with UN supervision under a peace deal with the government.

“It appears a rescheduling of the demobilisation process will be needed,” the FARC leadership said in a letter to Jean Arnault, head of the UN mission monitoring the peace process. (AFP)
