Colombia referendum: voters reject peace deal with Farc guerrillas


Colombians have rejected a peace deal to end 52 years of war with Farc guerrillas, throwing the country into confusion about its future. Facebook Twitter Pinterest Supporters of the peace deal watch the results of the referendum in Cali on Sunday. The Farc leader, Rodrigo Londono, said the insurgent group maintained its desire for peace despite the failure of the plebiscite to approve its recently signed deal with the government. By promoting a no vote, Uribe argued that he did not support continued war but wanted to fix the agreement. “Although imperfect, the agreement represented a concrete way forward for peace and justice,” said Erika Guevara-Rosas, Americas Director at Amnesty International.
