LatinNews Regional Monitor: Andean Group - 5 February 2018
In brief: Colombia
Colombia: The Colombian authorities have announced the capture in Arauca department of a leader of the Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN) guerrilas who goes by the alias ‘Mico’. He has been accused of organising and executing terrorist attacks and had an arrest warrant pending for criminal association and homicide. The government led by President Juan Manuel Santos and the ELN began peace talks last year in Ecuador’s capital, Quito, but the fifth round of talks were suspended on 29 January after a weekend of attacks that left seven dead and more than 40 injured.
