Resumen
On September 24, 2015 the Colombian government and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) gave themselves six months to reach a definitive peace agreement, which would reincorporate the oldest insurgent group in Latin America -founded in 1964- into democratic society. This would mean the direct participation of the guerrilla group in the country's political life. The FARC, inspired by the ideals of Communism and of the peasant movement, espoused the use of violence to achieve agrarian reform that would respond to the demands of the peasantry (at the time of its foundation comprising over half the country's population). Since then, the armed conflict, like any war, has created a legacy of violence and death that affects the parties to the conflict, and has created an indelible mark on the memory of all Colombians.
