BOGOTA (Reuters) -Colombia s government and national strike committee, made up of major unions and student groups, reached pre-agreements on Monday which the government said it hopes will lead to talks to end almost a month of widespread protests.
The protests, which began in late April in opposition to a now-canceled tax plan, have been marked by violence. The attorney general s office early on Monday confirmed 17 deaths connected to protests, though one human rights group has reported more than 40 people presumably killed by security forces.
