Eighty Dead, Thousands Displaced in Colombia Violence
A surge in violence in Colombia's northeastern Catatumbo region has resulted in over 80 fatalities and numerous injuries following the collapse of peace talks between the government and the National Liberation Army (ELN). The attacks, which began on January 16, targeted rival factions of former FARC members and have led to significant civilian displacement, with thousands fleeing to seek refuge in remote areas or government shelters. Governor William Villamizar highlighted the dire humanitarian situation, stating that families are arriving with little more than the clothes on their backs. In response to the escalating conflict, Colombia's army has deployed more than 5,000 soldiers to the region to enhance security and provide aid. The ELN's recent actions come amid ongoing clashes with various armed groups vying for control over lucrative coca plantations, exacerbating the instability in the area. The Colombian government has called for a cessation of violence from the ELN and access for humanitarian assistance.
