Colombian President Ends Peace Negotiations with FARC Dissident Faction
Share:
Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced the termination of peace negotiations with a dissident faction of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). The talks, which Petro had been leading since 2023, were part of his broader effort to achieve "total peace" in Colombia by negotiating with various armed groups that remained active despite a landmark 2016 peace agreement with FARC's main leadership. The decision to end negotiations signals a setback for Petro's signature policy initiative aimed at resolving Colombia's decades-long internal armed conflict through dialogue rather than military action.
