Colombia: FARC says peace is in sight

The Chief Negotiator for the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, better known as the FARC, says the conflict, which has been dragging on since 1964, is almost over. James Blears reports.
Listen to the report:
These latest peace negotiations have been underway since last November. They started in Oslo, Norway and then moved to Havana Cuba. Chief FARC Negotiator Ivan Marquez says peace is in sight. He however warned against what he's terming undue Government “haste”. The Government side want a finalized agreement signed, sealed and delivered by November.
Marquez has told Colombian television that an inadequate settlement is worse than war itself.
Both sides have reach accord concerning land reform.
The even more delicate process of the FARC laying down their arms and evolving into a political party has still not been finalized.
Marquez, who was involved in unsuccessful negotiations back in 2002, remains hopeful saying there is a formula and he's met with groups from Northern Ireland who proved it can be done.
Tens of thousands of people have died during this conflict and millions have been permanently displaced.
