BOGOTA (Reuters) - The Colombian rebel group Segunda Marquetalia has split, but a majority of the organization, founded by former members of the Marxist FARC guerrillas, will still pursue peace talks with the government, the faction and a government negotiator said on Wednesday.

The peace negotiations have been championed by President Gustavo Petro, the South American country's first leftist president, who decades ago was a member of a different rebel group.
