Colombian officials met FARC dissidents, president's tweet shows

(Reuters) - Colombian government representatives have met with members of an armed group that grew out of the demobilized FARC rebels, photos tweeted by President Gustavo Petro showed on Sunday.

Petro, who took office in August, has promised to seek "total peace" by fully implementing a 2016 peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), and talking to so-called dissidents who reject the accord as well as criminal gangs.
