Le Monde: Colombia vows 'war' as guerrilla violence kills 100
Colombia has declared a state of emergency and deployed thousands of soldiers in response to a surge in violence attributed to left-wing guerrillas, resulting in over 100 deaths and the displacement of 11,000 people. President Gustavo Petro has shifted from a strategy of dialogue to a more aggressive stance against the National Liberation Army (ELN), which is implicated in the recent attacks.
The violence, fueled by turf wars among rival militias, threatens Colombia's fragile peace process established after a 2016 deal with FARC. Critics argue that Petro's previous conciliatory approach may have allowed these groups to gain power, complicating efforts to stabilize the country.
