Colombian negotiators are heading to Cuba's capital Havana to resume peace talks with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia or FARC.
Colombia’s five government representatives set off from Bogota on Sunday and emphasized the government would allow a ceasefire in de-militarised areas only after reaching an agreement with FARC.

Meanwhile, top FARC negotiator wants a national assembly to change the constitution once a peace deal is reached with the government. He said citizens should have a voice at the table, and urged "legal and constitutional" force for a peace deal.
Talks to bring an end to Latin America’s longest-running insurgency will begin in Cuba on Monday.
The delayed negotiations are to work on "technical" details, including the participation of civil society and other groups.
