Bogotá, Colombia— A police officer takes a picture of flowers commemorating victims of five decades of conflict with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC. After three years of negotiations in Cuba, Colombia’s government signed a cease-fire deal with FARC rebels on June 23, opening the way to a final deal expected in July to end a war that has killed at least 220,000 people and driven millions from their homes. The FARC rebels agreed to demobilize and hand over their weapons to the United Nations, and the government agreed to guarantee the ex-rebels’ safety as they are reintegrated into society.
