TIBU, Colombia - Colombia's government and the country's largest group of dissident former FARC rebels on Sunday began peace talks and started a 10-month bilateral ceasefire in a bid to end the group's role in almost six decades of internal conflict, the rebel group announced.
The EMC reject a 2016 peace deal with the state that ended the FARC's role in the conflict, which has killed at least 450,000 people and displaced millions. Negotiations began in Tibu, in Norte de Santander province, the scene of frequent clashes between Colombia's military and a plethora of illegally armed groups and where vast swathes of land are covered in crops of coca, the chief ingredient in cocaine.
The EMC currently has some 3,530 members - 2,180 combatants and 1,350 others - in regions across Colombia where illicit trades like drug trafficking and illegal gold mining occur, according to security sources.
