No deadline for peace talks with FARC: Colombia government

The Colombian government on Wednesday stated that there is no deadline for the current peace talks, in spite of informal deadlines set by President Juan Manuel Santos.
A representative of the Office for the High Commissioner of Peace told Colombia Reports that ”there is no set deadline for the ongoing peace talks with rebel group FARC.”
Santos originally set a deadline of November 2013 for an agreement to be reached with the guerrillas, stating that he wanted the process “to take months, rather than years.”
However, the delegations needed six months to reach an accord on land reform, which is the first of five points to be discussed before a peace deal can be signed, making the deadline increasingly hard to meet.
