Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos has announced the ceasefire between the government and the FARC will end at the end of October, following the shocking results of Sunday’s nationwide referendum in which voters narrowly rejected the peace deal. The outcome now threatens to prolong the nation’s 52-year-old civil war. This comes as thousands of students gathered in Bogotá for a silent peace march. This is Carlos Fillippo.

Carlos Fillippo: “We are asking that the peace process be sped up. What’s been accomplished has been fragile, as we saw with the news yesterday that the bilateral ceasefire is already not definite. We want peace that’s not politicized, a peace for the citizens of Colombia, not for the political parties, not for the president, not for the ex-president, but for all Colombians, because we students are another political force.”
