Colombia's government and the country's last active guerrilla group, the ELN, announced a ceasefire today, a key step toward sealing a "complete peace" to end Latin America's longest civil war. Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and National Liberation Army, ELN, negotiators announced the ceasefire two days before a visit to Colombia by Pope Francis. <br/><br/>ELN Chief negotiator Pablo Beltran said his force's ceasefire was the first miracle of the pope's visit. The ceasefire follows a separate accord that saw the disarmament last month of Colombia's biggest rebel group, the FARC.<br/><br/>Santos said in a televised address, under the ceasefire, there will be an end to kidnappings, attacks on oil pipelines and other hostilities against the civilian population by the ELN. The government for its part promised to improve conditions for imprisoned ELN members and protect civil leaders from attacks in the conflict zone. He said the ceasefire will be renewed depending on progress on details still to be thrashed out with the leftist rebels.
