The Leadership of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia- The FARC is warning two diehard units in a remote region in the East of the country to fall in line, or to be cut adrift if they don`t lay down their arms, in accordance with the Peace settlement, which has taken more than three years to negotiate.  One of its most important provisions is that the FARC disarm and start the process of settling into civilian life, evolving into a political party. 

But two of its units in the remote  jungle, near to the Border with Brazil,  refuse to disarm.  One of them, calling itself The First Front Armando Rios, has announced just this, directly defying the  order to demobilize. 

Colombia`s President Juan Manuel Santos, who`s staked his Presidency, political career and life on the peace process is warning that those guerrillas who stick to their guns will be jailed or end up in a premature grave.  

He`s also set a final July 20th deadline for the Peace Settlement to be concluded, which will now come and go without incident,  as both sides have agreed a unilateral ceasefire...which will hopefully prevail, with the conflict finally winding  down to an historic conclusion.
