"Until now, we do not believe the Colombian government has the will to confront these groups. It is definitely an issue that threatens the peace of our country. Peace cannot only be rhetoric, it has to be demonstrated with facts and actions," said Rodriguez.

Both guerrillas have held several meetings in Havana this week with the permission of the Colombian government in order to discuss the peace process in the South American nation, including joint strategies to further advance a political solution to the armed conflict.

In September 2016, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and top FARC commander, Rodrigo Londono, signed a peace deal in Cartagena in front of 15 Latin American presidents and then UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon.

However, the agreement was rejected by over 50 percent of Colombian voters in a referendum.

After two months of further discussions, both sides changed several issues of the initial peace agreement and had it approved by the Colombian Parliament.

By the end of May, FARC members are expected to have finished handing over their weapons to UN officials and will continue the process of reinserting themselves into society and political life.

Currently, the ELN is set for a second round of discussions with Santos' government in Ecuador on May 16.
