In light of the recent peace talks going on between Colombia and US, a recent report from Fox News Latino suggests that one man could be the key to finalize the deal or end any of the talks. Apparently, leftist-rebel Ricardo Palmera is being asked by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) that US President Barack Obama release him to finally close the peace deal, the publication reports.

According to the news agency, it has been more than a decade since Colombia and the US have been under tension and now, the FARC is asking that the former bank manager, who became a rebel, be released in light of the peace talks.

However, the US is currently not moving a muscle to get Palmera out of jail, as he had been convicted to serve 60 years in prison for holding captive three Americans for five whole years, the news agency reports.

Furthermore, Palmera was recently visited by Colombian Senator, Ivan Cepada, who's reportedly close to Colombian President Juan Manual Santos and the FARC, the news outlet reports. The meeting was said to be in discussion of Palmera's role in the peace talks between Colombia and the US.

The on-going negotiations also comes with Colombia asking for more financial aid from the US, the Miami Herald reports. According to the publication, the US had been giving $300 million a year for aid against crime and poverty.

The recent report revealed that Colombia is now asking $500 million a year for 10 years, releasing a new plan called "Plan Colombia 2.0." The plan reportedly includes Colombia's implementation of peace after peace talks will be finalized, the news agency reports.

"Even if everybody is on board with these peace agreements, the tricky part is to implement them. To implement them is very costly and difficult," Michael Shifter, president of the Inter-American Dialogue research center in Washington said as quoted by the publication.

Since Colombia has shown its potential to be a peaceful nation once again, having a 35-year low in homicides and an enormous decrease in in kidnappings at 90 percent, Colombia can once again rise. However, much funding is needed for further implementations, according to the news outlet.

"The support of the United States has allowed Colombia to transform from a failed state -- as it was seen by many 15 years ago -- to the Colombia that is on the verge of achieving lasting peace," Colombian Ambassador Juan Carlos Pinzón said as quoted by the news outlet.
