Colombia: Great expectations in Choco department over hostage release

After the announcement by Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos that General Rubén Darío Alzate and his companions would be release on Saturday, the residents of the department of Chocó, which is where the hostages will be freed, have great expectations. They hope that the release will facilitate the resumption of peace talks so the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) may finally reach a peace agreement that would open the door to a better future for their children. teleSUR
