Colombia’s FARC leader warns government against violation of peace deal

‘The leader of Colombia’s former rebel group FARC has warned the country’s government against failure to meet its obligations under a 2016 historic peace deal.
In a letter published by FARC on its website on Monday, Rodrigo Londono accused the government of breaching the “minimum guarantees” of the Havana peace accords and called on President Juan Miguel Santos to fully comply with the pact inked last November to put an end to Latin America’s oldest conflict.
