Colombia-FARC Peace Agreement

After decades of conflict that claimed over 260,000 lives, Colombia and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as FARC, signed a historic peace agreement in 2016. This landmark deal aimed to end Latin America's longest-running civil war and transform a nation scarred by violence. The agreement promised to address long-standing issues of rural poverty, political participation, and drug trafficking. It also included provisions for disarmament, justice for victims, and reintegration of former guerrillas into society. While the accord brought hope for a new era of peace, its implementation has faced numerous challenges and controversies. Today, we'll explore the complexities of this peace process, its impact on Colombian society, and the ongoing efforts to build a lasting peace in a country long divided by conflict.
