The President of Colombia is ready to begin peace talks with the rebel group ELN.

The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), a rebel group that has plagued the South American country for decades, announced on Friday morning that they were suspending peace talks with the government in Havana. They say they’ll review internally how to respond to a government demand that the results of the peace talks be put to a public referendum.

The rebel group, currently in the midst of peace talks with the Colombian government, say their capture of Sutay, an American veteran, proves the US has "mercenaries in the country".

As a land reform agreement was reached in Havana this weekend between the FARC and the Colombian government, the US Army's office in Colombia solicited proposals for anti-guerrilla radio novellas.

Colombia's Marxist-led FARC rebels said their peace talks with the government were going well, but the lead negotiator for President Juan Manuel Santos was more reserved as the two sides finished the first round of meetings aimed at ending their protracted conflict.

Colombia's FARC rebels freed three captive Chinese oil workers and their translator after holding them in jungle camps for more than a year, a police source said on Thursday, an apparent goodwill gesture as the rebels seek to negotiate a peace accord to end five decades of war.

Colombia's Marxist FARC rebels announced a unilateral two-month ceasefire on Monday as they opened negotiations with the government in an attempt to restore peace after nearly half a century of war.

Peace talks between Colombia's government and FARC rebels scheduled to start inCuba this week will be delayed until Monday so negotiators can work on "technical" details, both sides said.

Colombian government negotiators and Marxist rebels have delayed their departure for peace talks in Norway aimed at ending nearly half a century of conflict but still plan to arrive in time for their only publicly scheduled event on Wednesday, Norway said.
