Colombia’s largest rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, said they will initiate a unilateral cease-fire starting July 20 following a pick-up in violence.

The announcement comes a day after countries assisting peace talks in Havana called for a de-escalation to the conflict that has seen dozens of rebels and government forces killed since an earlier cease-fire ended in May.
