Colombia's government agrees to a six-month ceasefire with the five largest armed groups operating in the country, President Gustavo Petro announces
The truce was the main objective of President Petro’s"total peace" policy, which aims to end the country’s armed conflict.
The armed groups still operating in Colombia, the world's largest cocaine producer, are locked in deadly disputes over drug trafficking revenues and other illegal businesses, according to the Institute for Development and Peace Studies , an independent think tank. The Segunda Marquetalia and Estado Mayor Central groups - splinter factions of FARC which broke from the 2016 peace pact - have held separate talks with the government.
Some dissidents refused to lay down their arms alongside their FARC comrades six years ago, when the fearsome rebel army signed the deal with Bogota to end more than five decades of conflict.
