Colombia's Congress has approved a revised peace accord to end the 50-year conflict between the government and the Farc rebel group. The lower house ratified the pact a day after it was endorsed by the Senate, despite objections from the opposition.<br/><br/>The deal aims to end an armed conflict that has killed more than 2 lakh 60 thousand people over five decades. The first peace accord was rejected in a referendum, but the revised version does not require a popular vote.<br/><br/>President Juan Manuel Santos welcomed what he called landmark backing for a start to the process by which thousands of Farc fighters will leave jungle camps and lay down their arms.
