Ex-guerrillas in Colombia fear fate under new hardline president
Colombia's previous government's 'total peace' initiative resulted in only 99 of the country's 30,000 armed combatants disarming and handing over their weapons in June. However, the newly elected hardline president Abelardo De la Espriella opposes peace agreements, raising concerns about the fate of these ex-guerrillas and the broader peace process. This shift in leadership threatens to undermine disarmament efforts in a country still recovering from six decades of armed conflict that has killed nearly half a million people.
