Members of the Colombian Army patrol the streets in the municipality of Tibu, in Norte de Santander Department in Colombia, on the border with Venezuela, on October 7, 2023. AFPPIX: The Colombian government and a dissident faction of the FARC guerrilla group said Sunday they were postponing a scheduled ceasefire and peace talks for over a week amid escalating tensions.
His remarks were met with jeers among the thousands of Indigenous and other rural inhabitants who traveled to Tibu to witness the opening of negotiations. The 2016 deal saw about 7,000 members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia give up arms and attempt to reintegrate into civilian life, though a faction under guerrilla leader Ivan Mordisco decided to keep fighting.
It is said by the government to be involved in cocaine trafficking, illegal mining and attacks on Colombian troops.
