I am certain of this one. This is referring to the area in Colombia that the government yielded to the guerrilla (FARC). Their time i the area and the peace talks were due to expire a little over a week ago, and it was extended pending some new terms.

Good luck!

The peace talks are between the Government (whose law enforcement branch is the military) and the guerrilla (FARC). One of the points of contention is that the paramilitaries have not been included in the talks.
