The Colombian government of Gustavo Petro praised the decision of FARC dissidents to maintain the ceasefire after a combat. This Saturday the head of the guerrilla of the Central General Staff, alias 'Iván Mordisco', published a video in which he reaffirms his intention to respect what was agreed for October 8 and warned against "war speeches", a day after having put the truce in doubt. Since September 22, we announced the suspension of offensive actions to stop the war and reduce the effects on the civilian population as much as possible. To this day, war-mongering speeches continue to prevail (...) we maintain the suspension of offensive actions, unfortunately the siege puts the peace gesture is at risk," said the guerrilla leader in reference to an Army offensive in the department of Cauca.
