Colombia's National Liberation Army (ELN) rebel group said it would hold a three-day "armed strike" beginning Wednesday to protest against President Ivan Duque's social and economic policies, a move the government called an attempt to sow fear.
So-called armed strikes, enforced by rebels in areas where they operate, include restrictions on transport, curfews and shuttering of businesses.
"Against Duque and his bad government the National Liberation Army decrees an armed strike in all national territory," the ELN said in a statement dated Sunday on its website.
