Colombia's largest rebel group said it will stop attacks on the nation's military as it prepares for a ceasefire with the government that could bring both sides closer to ending five decades of war.
In a statement published Tuesday, the National Liberation Army's Central Command ordered its units across the country to "cease all offensive actions" against the military on July 6, including espionage.
In June, the ELN and Colombia's government agreed to take actions that will lead to a bilateral ceasefire on Aug. 3. The ELN has grown significantly since 2017, when it occupied areas of the country that were vacated by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia following its peace deal with the government. The group known as the FARC has been Colombia's biggest guerrilla army.
