Fighters of the Front 53, a faction of the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia(FARC) guerrilla movement, wait for instructions April 25, 1998 in the hills of Los Alpes, 150 Km southeast of Bogota. Colombia’s president Juan Manuel Santos and FARC rebel group leader Timoleon Jimenez were headed to Cuba on Wednesday in a push to end Latin America’s oldest guerrilla war. “Peace is near,” Santos said on Twitter, announcing the surprise trip to Havana. The meeting was set for 5:00 pm local time (2100 GMT), the rebel source said. AFP PHOTO/Marcelo SALINAS
