National Army

The National Army is the official military force of Colombia. Recent news focuses on its past actions and role in the country's ongoing peace process following decades of armed conflict, primarily with the FARC-EP rebels. Specifically, former National Army soldiers are confessing to involvement in extrajudicial killings as part of reconciliation efforts, offering victims' families some closure. This highlights the challenges of achieving lasting peace and addressing past human rights abuses. While not directly related, a separate incident involving a state-owned airline crash near the Colombian-Venezuelan border underscores the country's ongoing challenges and complexities. The Army's involvement in the peace process remains a significant aspect of Colombia's efforts to heal and move forward.
