Farc resumes peace talks

The Colombian rebel group Farc, has resumed peace talks with the Colombian government in Havana.

This phase of the discussions will focus on the disarmament of the rebels and their transition to a political entity.

The government's lead negotiator, Humberto de la Calle, said that they would be "establishing rules which will allow the transition of the Farc to an unarmed political force".

Farc representative Andres Paris said to the Colombian newspaper El Espectador that they would demand "a broadening of the political scene for the opposition".

"We have fought for a democratic opening and confronted Colombia's restricted two-party system," he said.
