Colombia is experiencing a resurgence of violence, particularly in the northeastern region of Catatumbo, where feuding drug trafficking groups have shattered a fragile truce. The conflict primarily involves the National Liberation Army (ELN) and a faction of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), leading to significant fatalities and displacements. This violence represents a significant setback for the 'total peace' policy advocated by President Gustavo Petro, who faces criticism regarding his control of the ongoing cocaine trade and its implications for US relations.
Colombia is facing one of its worst waves of violence since the peace accords, with demobilized rebels becoming targets amid feuding drug trafficking groups.
