FARC dissident group EMC said Sunday that it had suspended peace talks, claiming that Colombia’s government has failed to comply with made agreements.

Petro's progressive allies defeated in all major cities.

Colombia’s government and guerrilla group EMC kicked off formal peace talks after signing a three-month ceasefire. … The EMC is an illegal armed group that was founded by former FARC guerrillas in 2016 in opposition to a peace process that had been bartered by former President Juan Manuel Santos.

As Colombia prepares to mark the seventh anniversary of the peace agreement that ended the decades-long conflict there, the Government has increased its efforts to realize the accord’s goals, the UN envoy for the country said on Wednesday.

Colombia’s government and guerrilla group EMC postponed formal peace talks and a ceasefire that were supposed to begin on Sunday.

The Colombian army has apologised for killing thousands of civilians and falsely passing them off as left-wing guerrillas to boost its kill rate during the country's armed conflict.

The Colombian government and the left-wing rebel group EMC-Farc have agreed to resume peace talks and implement a 10-month ceasefire. The EMC-Farc is an off-shoot of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc), a group formed in the 1960's as the armed wing of the Communist Party.

Another five people, including a teenage girl from an Indigenous community, were injured in the clashes between dissidents of the now-disarmed FARC guerrilla group and the National Liberation Army (ELN), according to the governor of the eastern Arauca department.

Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro said that Prosecutor General Francisco Barbosa accused guerrilla group ELN of planning his assassination for political reasons.

The National Liberation Army (ELN) rebel group denied Thursday that it plotted to kill Colombia's Attorney General Francisco Barbosa. … The ELN denied planning an attack but accused Barbosa of “sabotaging” peace talks that have been ongoing between the government and the guerrilla group since President Gustavo Petro was elected last year.
