Colombian Government to Meet With FARC Rebels in Oslo
Hoping to put an end to half a century of conflict
The Colombian government and Marxist rebels are set to hold peace talks in Norway aimed at ending nearly half a century of conflict.
President Juan Manuel Santos has made the latest attempt to negotiate a deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerrillas after recent criticism on security issues, although there have been improvements over the last decade helped by a US backed offensive against the rebels and drug barons.
