Colombians Reject Peace Agreement with Leftist Rebels
Colombians have rejected a landmark peace agreement with leftist FARC rebels in a referendum which had been expected to support the deal, Euronews reports.
The surprise victory for the "No" camp was by less than one percentage point. In general the main cities were in favour unlike the rural areas.
President Juan Manuel Santos who had staked his reputation on the pact has accepted the result but stressed in an address to the nation that the current ceasefire will continue.
The commander of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, known by his nom de guerre, Timochenko, gave a similar message from Havana, where peace negotiations have taken place over the last four years.
"FARC reiterates its disposition to use only words as weapons to build towards the future."
