Military operation ‘forcefully dismantles’ FARC dissident structure, Colombian defence minister says.

Ingrid Betancourt says she has what it takes to become Colombia’s first female president, but not everyone agrees.

Decision comes after approximately 300 ex-rebel fighters have been killed since signing of 2016 peace accord.

Officials said the group presented themselves as former FARC rebels; no one was injured in the attack.

Betancourt was kidnapped by FARC rebels in 2002 while campaigning for president, and held captive for six years.

Colombian human rights ombudsman expresses ‘deep concern’ over violent escalation in eastern border area near Venezuela.

Twenty-one former soldiers admit to participating in so-called ‘false positive’ killings, special tribunal says.

Hernan Dario Velasquez was a negotiator in 2016 peace agreement, but announced three years later he had rearmed.

Move comes days after the group and the Colombian government marked the five-year anniversary of a peace accord.

Government says the faction cleared large portions of rainforest to bring in cattle and grow plants to make cocaine.
