VOICED : Gobierno y FARC logran acuerdo para desescalar conflicto

The transcript discusses a historic agreement between the Colombian government and FARC to de-escalate the armed conflict. Starting July 20, the government will reduce military actions in response to FARC's suspension of offensive actions. This marks the first time the government has agreed to such a reduction since peace talks began in 2012. The agreement aims to advance negotiations for a definitive bilateral ceasefire. It was reached shortly after FARC declared a one-month unilateral truce. During a previous five-month truce, armed actions decreased significantly, but FARC ended it in May following a series of military attacks.
