HAVANA, Safar 11, 1436, Dec. 3, 2014, SPA—The government of Colombia and leftist rebels will renew suspended peace negotiations this month, reviving efforts to end Latin America’s longest running war, officials announced Wednesday. Colombia had suspended the two-year old peace talks hosted by Cuba while the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) had captured an army general. The rebels freed General Ruben Dario Alzate on Sunday after detaining him for two weeks. “We consider the crisis over and announce that we have agreed that the next cycle of conversations will take place between the 10th and the 17th of December,” a Cuban government official said in Havana, reading a joint statement from the two Colombian sides. --SPA 12:32 LOCAL TIME 09:32 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
