Scores of people celebrated the signing of a historic peace agreement between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), in Bogota, Thursday.
The 200-page document consists of six agreements including legislation on rural reforms, political and democratic participation, bilateral ceasefire, demobilisation of the guerrillas, illicit drugs, and reparation payments to victims.
The negotiators from both sides had been holding talks in Havana since 2012 with representatives from Venezuela and Chile observing the process.
This was the fourth attempt between the Colombian government and the FARC rebels to reach an agreement to stop the conflict which has left some 300,000 dead, 45,000 missing and almost seven million internally displaced.
