Colombia’s largest rebel group FARC increased weapons purchases in Ecuador during the unilateral ceasefire called by the guerrillas in November, said an Ecuadorean general on Tuesday.
The general is in charge of approximately 12,000 Ecuadorean soldiers who are posted along the Colombian border.
According to local media, Ecuadorean authorities have recently seized more than 1,200 bars of explosives bound for armed groups that operate along border zones.
FARC’s unilateral ceasefire is set to expire on January 20.
