BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombians are divided on a potential peace deal between the government and the FARC rebels, an Ipsos survey showed Sunday, amid skepticism about political participation by the guerrillas.

The government of President Juan Manuel Santos and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) have been in peace talks for nearly four years, and ten days ago signed a historic ceasefire deal considered the penultimate step to a final accord. Santos has promised that any deal would have to be approved by Colombians in a referendum.
