COLOMBIA: President Gustavo Petro today suspended peace talks with the National Liberation Army (ELN) for a second time in less than a year, saying the group “has no will for peace.”
It came after a former Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia accused the ELN of killing at least four demobilised members of the group and authorities revealed they are investigating other deaths.
