The Colombian government announced Monday that the ceasefire with the FARC-EMC rebel group has been extended to facilitate peace talks and reduce violence, especially in the rural parts of the country.
The ceasefire, which was originally set to expire this week, has been extended until July 15, as per the decree signed by President Gustavo Petro on Sunday. According to the government, this ceasefire will make rebels stop attacking civilians in areas under their control.
