Colombian President Gustavo Petro has vowed to conduct a 'full offensive' against armed group EMC, after a series of clashes between its members and the army over the weekend that left four soldiers dead. The group was also accused of "profaning" the soldiers' corpses.

"There must be a full offensive against EMC at the Cauca region. They are murderers of the people and traffickers. If the president must go there, the president will," Petro said in a publication on X, formerly Twitter.
