哥伦比亚政府与左翼革命武装达成土改协议The government of Colombia and left-wing Farc rebels have agreed on land reform, after more than six months of peace talks.在经历六个多月的和平会谈之后，哥伦比亚政府与左翼哥伦比亚革命武装力量就土地改革达成一致意见。 "This agreement will be the start of a radical transformation of rural Colombia," read a joint statement. The deal calls for the economic and social development of rural areas and providing land to poor farmers. Land reform is one of the most contentious（有异议的） issues in the talks on ending five decades of conflict. "Today we have a real opportunity to attain peace through dialogue,'' said the Colombian government's chief negotiator, Humberto de la Calle. "To support this process is to believe in Colombia," he told journalists at the talks in the Cuban capital, Havana. Long way to peace The Farc, Colombia's largest guerrilla group, has been in talks with the government on the Caribbean island since last November. Farc chief negotiator Ivan Marquez said several issues remained unresolved and would be d ealt with in later discussions. "We have advanced in the construction of an accord that will necessarily be checked over before the completion of the final agreement." The talks in Cuba are the fourth attempt to reach a negotiated settlement of the conflict, the longest-running in Latin America. Sunday's agreement calls for fair access to land, and rural development - two key causes of the armed conflict. It also calls for the creation of a land bank, as a way to reallocate land, including areas seized illegally during the fighting. Analysts and aid groups say much of it was taken by far-right paramilitary groups on behalf of cattle ranchers and drug traffickers. The government, however, blames at least a third of the seizures on the Farc - a claim the rebels deny.
