Sunday marked the last official day of the 52-year-old armed conflict between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
According to the terms of the peace deal, they will surrender their weapons to the government and give up their combat uniforms.
This meeting will mark the end of the FARC as a guerilla group.
For the first time since 1965, the FARC will discuss peace at their conference instead of plans for kidnappings, extortion and attacks.
People are starting to feel the impact of what Humberto de la Calle, the chief negotiator for the government in the peace process with the FARC, meant on Wednesday when he said: “The war is over.” On Sunday, rebel chief Rodrigo “Timochenko” Londoño confirmed the definitive ceasefire President Juan Manuel Santos had announced on Thursday.
