The National Liberation Army (ELN) has released two police officers, Franki Esley Hoyos and Yordin Fabián Pérez, who were kidnapped in Arauca nearly eleven months ago. The release marks a partial fulfillment of a commitment made by the ELN as part of ongoing peace negotiations with the Colombian government. Despite this positive development, two agents of the Attorney General's Office remain in captivity. The liberation occurred after extended negotiations facilitated by mediators. This action is being viewed as a potential confidence-building measure in the peace process. Further details regarding the conditions of the officers’ release and the status of the remaining hostages have not yet been disclosed. The event was reported by La Silla Vacía, a Colombian news outlet.
