FARC militants blame Colombian government for delayed peace-talks

FARC militants in Colombia, rejected the Colombian government’s request to accelerate peace talks on Friday.

The Colombian president, Juan Manuel Santos, repeatedly urged a swift end to peace talks, which have taken place in Havana over the last two and a half years.

However in an open letter to Mr Santos on Friday, the FARC leadership blamed the Colombian government for the unnecessary delays in the process, reports Reuters.

FARC militants killed 11 Colombian soldiers in an attack, which they called a form of self-defence.
