About
The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia–People's Army (FARC-EP) was a Colombian guerrilla group involved in a decades-long armed conflict with the Colombian government. While a 2016 peace agreement formally ended hostilities, the aftermath remains complex. The group is newsworthy due to the ongoing challenges in sustaining peace and the complexities of implementing the peace agreement. Recent developments involve confessions from former National Army soldiers regarding extrajudicial killings as part of the peace process. Furthermore, Colombia's role in the global drug trade, an issue linked to various armed groups including the ELN, is under scrutiny. The FARC-EP's legacy and the ongoing peace process are significant as Colombia navigates the transition from conflict to lasting peace, addressing issues like drug trafficking and reconciliation.
