A car bomb exploded at a toll plaza in southwestern Colombia on Saturday, the day following Abelardo de la Espriella’s inauguration as president. The blast injured two security guards and was quickly blamed on factions of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) who have not demobilized. President de la Espriella responded with a forceful statement, demanding armed groups adhere to the law. The attack raises concerns about ongoing security challenges facing the new administration. Authorities are investigating the incident and bolstering security measures in the region. This bombing marks a violent start to de la Espriella's presidency and a reminder of the persistent presence of armed groups in Colombia. The incident underscores the challenges ahead for establishing peace and stability nationwide.
