The current Colombian government is a leftist version of the Trump administration, including an extremely corrupt populist president and with nepotism all over the place. Nothing the government does has any substance and it is all for show so I would not be surprised if these people are back to their old ways once the current president is voted out.

I don’t get it. Are the rebels supporting right-wing ideologies?

The line between leftist guerilla and common criminal started blurring some time ago. But the bigger problem in Colombia is the right-wing paramilitaries. They are well funded and well connected and at least until recently received support directly from the government and the military. The peace deal includes these paras also. Let’s hope Petro can make it work.

Eh. It’s tough because a lot of the damage right-wing people cause is legal.

Let us hope that it goes the distance this time and Colombia can achieve peace. 🕊️

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Colombian government and armed dissidents called Estado Mayor Central (EMC), announced on Saturday that they had agreed to renew a ceasefire, brokered and broken several times in recent months, and peace talks.

It’s part of leftist President Gustavo Petro’s bid to expand on his predecessor’s landmark peace deal with the country’s biggest rebel group, FARC, which disarmed in 2016.

The weekend agreement was made with the EMC, a guerrilla group, which broke away from FARCand rejected the peace negotiations with Colombia’s government that began in 2016, continuing hostilities.

Representatives of the EMC and the government began a meeting in the mountains earlier this week seeking an agreement to try to restart negotiations.

A previous such ceasefire with the EMC ended in May after President Gustavo Petro accused a faction of the rebel group of murdering four children from the Murui indigenous community in Southern Colombia.

Petro, elected last year, campaigned on a pledge to pursue “total peace” and to strike accords with the remaining rebel groups in Colombia still fighting over access to drug routes and other illegal commerce, among other things.
