Are Colombia’s FARC rebels returning to war?
Former FARC commander issues call to arms and accuses government of betrayal.
Colombia had looked to be on the path to peace after more than 50 years of war with the leftist FARC rebels.
However, that peace is now under threat from one of the men who agreed to it.
Former FARC negotiator Ivan Marquez has issued a call to arms, saying the government betrayed the 2016 peace deal.
Colombia’s president has promised to hunt down the rebels.
Can the peace deal be saved to prevent a return to conflict?
