BOGOTA, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- Colombia's National Liberation Army, or ELN, rebel group said it is ready to start peace negotiations following the recent deal between the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.
The Colombian government under President Juan Manuel Santos was to hold peace negotiations with the ELN in March but the talks were delayed because the group did not meet the government's demand that its rebels stop kidnapping people.
