The first image of a Colombian general and two other hostages released by FARC has been shared by the Colombian government on social media.<br /><br />The Marxist rebels captured five hostages two weeks ago. In response Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos suspended peace talks in Cuba.<br /><br />The rebels then liberated two captive soldiers on Tuesday before finally freeing General Ruben Dario Alzate and two others on Sunday.<br /><br />FARC representative Ivan Marquez said:“We invite President Santos to consider whole heartedly and with common sense that we cannot continue extending this dialogue for peace in the middle of war. It’s time for a bilateral ceasefire, for armistice.”<br /><br />There are hopes the stalled peace talks, aimed at bringing an end to the decades of violence in Colombia, can be resumed.<br /><br />Santos announced he will meet with government negotiators to discuss the terms of his return to the Cuban capital Havana. It’s hoped this will happen at the beginning of December.
