In Colombia, all eyes are turned on the department of Chocó as three hostages are about to be released on Saturday. However, this department, located in the Colombian Pacific region, had never received much attention from the state other than a military presence. Now, residents hope for a rapid release operation so they may return to their normal lives. They also hope that President Juan Manuel Santos resumes the peace talks in Havana with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in order to achieve a final peace agreement. teleSUR
