Over the weekend, more than 80 people lost their lives in Colombia's northeast region following failed peace talks with the National Liberation Army. The violence also left 20 individuals injured, prompting thousands to flee the area as the army worked to evacuate residents.
The attacks, which occurred in several towns near the border with Venezuela, resulted in the kidnapping of at least three individuals involved in the peace negotiations. Among the victims were community leader Carmelo Guerrero and seven individuals seeking to sign a peace deal.
