Colombia: Peace Front Joins Talks

The Broad Front for Peace, a coalition of Colombian civil society organizations and political leaders, has formally joined talks currently underway in Havana between the government and rebels seeking to end the country's armed conflict. The Front is pressing for the government to accept the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) proposal for a bilateral ceasefire and for the creation of an independent support commission to monitor the deescalation of the conflict. teleSUR
