Peace Talks With Second Marquetalia Conclude
The Colombian government alongside a splinter faction of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) known as the Second Marquetalia concluded peace talks on Saturday, reaching a deal to release hostages and establish a framework to negotiate a long-term ceasefire. The Second Marquetalia is made up of former FARC commanders and soldiers who originally chose to comply with a 2016 peace deal with the government but later rearmed in 2019 after the government supposedly failed to uphold the terms of the ceasefire.
