In a Colombian hill live around 300 ex-guerrillas since late 2016, their work is varied, but all ratify their commitment to peace after the announcement made a week ago by former FARC commanders to start a new rebellion.
In Colombia, guerrilla members carry many scars of the five-decade armed conflict that killed 260,000 people. As they prepare to lay down their guns, they must learn to live with their wounds and build peace with their former enemies.
Timoleon Jimenez, the leader of Colombian rebel group FARC, announced a ceasefire in Havana on Sunday after reaching an agreement with the Colombian government, ending one of the longest running and deadliest wars in the world, which has already left over 300,000 people dead.
The Colombian government and the FARC will sign a peace agreement after the rebels hold their last conference, President Juan Manuel Santos announces, marking the end of 50 years of conflict.
