Colombian security forces are facing overwhelming challenges as a surge in leftwing guerrilla violence has led to over 100 fatalities in just five days, jeopardizing the peace process.
The violence, which includes more than 80 deaths near the border with Venezuela, poses a significant dilemma for President Gustavo Petro, whose total peace policy is under strain.
Petro's negotiations with armed groups, while seeking peace, face criticism for potentially empowering these factions that thrive on drug trafficking activities, further destabilizing the region.
The ongoing clash involves not only the remnants of the Farc but various dissident groups, highlighting a persistent challenge in reconciling with remnants of Colombia's long-standing conflict.
