Rebels and Colombia in ceasefire deal

Colombia’s government and leftist rebels announced that they have reached a deal on a ceasefire that would be the last major step toward ending Latin America’s oldest guerrilla war.

President Juan Manuel Santos will travel to Cuba today to unveil details of the deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.

UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon announced he also would be present to witness the signing of the agreement.
