Colombia: ceasefire between government and ELN extended by six months. In the text released overnight, the far-left rebel group undertakes to abandon its practice of kidnappings with extortion.
The conclusion of this Havana round of talks, the sixth since the start of the peace process, has been delayed twice. The next session of talks will take place from April in Caracas, both parties said. Gustavo Petro, the first left-wing president in Colombia's history, has begun talks with the main armed groups operating in the country.
