Episode Details

A splinter group of former FARC rebels, calling themselves the Bolivarian Army, has formally disarmed in Putumayo, marking a major step toward Colombia’s “total peace” initiative. Though they rejected the original 2016 peace deal, they’re now relocating under strict government supervision to a resettlement zone, with movement restricted and constant monitoring. Their leader, Geovany Rojas — currently jailed on U.S. drug charges — declared they’re trading rifles for words, calling dialogue a stronger weapon. President Petro, a former rebel himself, is pushing hard to bring all armed factions to the table, even pausing military operations to ensure safe passage. Peace remains fragile, but this disarmament signals a cautious, hard-won progress.
