FARC prepares for move to politics after disarmament

Members of the FARC group in Colombia have begun discussing the group's future in its first congress since the conclusion of a historic disarmament process.

Over 1,000 delegates from the recently-demobilised group attended the first day of the congress in Bogota.

FARC leader Rodrigo Londoño, also known as Timochenko, said the event would lead to the creation of a new exclusively political organisation.
