Colombia's President Juan Manuel Santos has extended a ceasefire with the leftist FARC rebel group until the end of the year. "I have made the decision to extend the bilateral ceasefire until December 31," Santos, said in a televised address.
The accord, signed with the left-wing rebel group last month, was narrowly rejected in a national referendum. The original ceasefire ended with the referendum and has already been extended until 31 October.
Santos was awarded the Nobel Peace prize for reaching the peace agreement, which took more than four years to negotiate.
