ELN closes temporary file with Colombia

Rebellion group ELN and the Colombian government have agreed a ceasefire.

ELN was founded by radical Catholic priests. The ceasefire will last for at least 102 days, announced by President Santos of Colombia. ELN is especially famous in the Netherlands because of the kidnapping of television maker Derk Bolt.

Abduction is the trademark of the ELN. With the rebel group FARC, the government closed peace in 2016. Santos received the Nobel Peace Prize for this.
