President Santos said this historic moment was a message from Colombia to the world: no more war. "No more war," the crowd chanted in return.This was the first time Timochenko addressed the nation live on TV. He promised the Farc would give up its guns, and more than that, he asked for forgiveness. It earned him a standing ovation. That would have been unthinkable not long ago. But after 50 years of war, many Colombians still aren't ready to forgive. As President Santos put it, the hard work of building peace now lies ahead.The deal comes after four years of talks in Havana, Cuba, between government and rebel negotiators. It must be approved by the Colombian people in a popular vote on Sunday before it can pass into law. Polls indicate the majority of Colombians will vote for it, although there has been some opposition, led by ex-president Alvaro Uribe.Image source, EPAImage caption, Relatives of people kidnapped and murdered by Farc rebels travelled to Cartagena for the ceremonyUnder the deal, the Farc will be relaunched as a political party. Correspondents say that although there is widespread hope that the deal may bring an end to the kidnappings and bloodshed that have blighted Colombia over five decades, it has also led to divisions in Latin America's fourth-biggest economy.Some people are angry that it allows rebels to enter parliament without serving time in prison.Correspondents say President Santos has risked his political future on the success of the peace deal.To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.This video can not be playedMedia caption, Juan Manuel Santos: "The signature of the deal is simply the end of the conflict then the hard work starts"Dignitaries attending the ceremony included UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Cuban President Raul Castro.Mr Ban told the ceremony: "You can look to the future with optimism. You are inviting Colombians to live in peace."As Mr Kerry arrived in the country, he praised Mr Santos' efforts to secure the deal and pledged $390m (￡300m) to help implement it.The US is not yet ready to remove the Farc from its list of terrorist organisations, he said, but is prepared to review that sanction once the peace agreement is up and running.
