A military operation in Guaviare, Colombia, has resulted in the deaths of 20 members of FARC dissidents, according to President De la Espriella. The operation also led to the seizure of weapons. This action effectively ends ongoing dialogues with armed groups, the president stated. The offensive targeted a group of dissidents who had not demobilized following the 2016 peace agreement with the FARC. Details regarding the specifics of the operation and the identities of those killed remain limited. The government asserts the operation was a necessary response to continued illegal activities by the group. This escalation marks a significant shift in the government’s approach to armed groups in the region.
