Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced on Nov. 30 that the United States no longer designates the guerrilla group known as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as FARC, as a terrorist organization.

The decision comes five years after a peace agreement between the group and the Colombian government in 2016.
