More than 250,000 children have been affected by the conflict in Colombia since peace talks between the Government and the country’s main armed opposition group, FARC began three years ago; that’s according to the UN Children’s Fund, (UNICEF).

An estimated 1,000 children were used or recruited by non-state armed groups during the same period.

The conflict has gone on for 50 years, but a final peace agreement following a ceasefire is still being negotiated.

Jorge Miyares has been speaking to the UNICEF representative in Colombia, Roberto De Bernardi.
