Colombia’s government and the country’s largest remaining guerrilla group, ELN, declared a cease-fire agreement Friday at talks in Cuba.
HAVANA, Cuba — Colombia’s government and the country’s largest remaining guerrilla group declared a cease-fire agreement Friday at talks in Cuba, in the latest attempt to resolve a conflict dating back to the 1960s.
“This effort to look for peace is a light of hope that conflicts can be solved politically and diplomatically,” top rebel negotiator Pablo Beltrán said at the ceremony. Following that incident, the government of then President Iván Duque issued arrest warrants for ELN leaders in Cuba for the peace negotiations. But Cuba refused to extradite them, arguing that doing so would compromise its status as a neutral nation in the conflict and break with diplomatic protocols.as Colombia’s first leftist president.
The ELN was founded in the 1960s by union leaders, students and priests inspired by the Cuban revolution. It is Colombia’s largest remaining rebel group and has been notoriously difficult for previous Colombian governments to negotiate with.
