BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombia's army will up their fight against dissident FARC rebels and crime gangs across the nation even after a peace accord is signed with the Marxist group, the head of the army said, in a bid to prevent other armed groups and drug traffickers from taking over rebel territory.
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 recently signed a historic ceasefire deal considered the penultimate step to a final accord.
