This question was closed with the correct answer 'Yes' with an end date of 13 November 2016. The government of Columbia and the FARC reached an agreement on a new peace deal on 13 November 2016 (BBC, CNN, NPR). See our FAQ to learn about how we resolve questions and how scores are calculated
On 2 October 2016 the Colombian people voted to reject a peace accord between Colombia and the FARC (The City Paper Bogota). Since the referendum rejection, both sides have said they will return to negotiations, and President Santos has said he'd like to see a deal by the end of the year (PBS NewsHour, CBC News). Renegotiation requires that Colombia and the FARC agree on the terms of a peace agreement. Ratification is not required. However, interim agreements on specific topics (e.g. BBC) will NOT resolve this question. Confused? Check our FAQ or ask us for help.
