Colombians take to streets again to support peace deal

Thousands of rural farmers, victims and students marched in cities across Colombia on Wednesday to demand a peace deal between the government and leftist rebels not be scuttled.

 

It's the second time in a week that Colombians are taking to the streets to support the accord signed with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.

 

In Bogota, victims of the decades-long conflict carrying signs of dead loved ones were greeted by well-wishers handing white flowers symbolizing peace.

 

President Juan Manuel Santos is in talks with the opposition and FARC to save the accord after it was narrowly rejected in a referendum.
