COLOMBIA: First agreement reached in ELN talks
The first round of peace negotiations between the Colombian government and the Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN) guerrilla group concluded in Caracas on 12 December with the announcement of an agreement on humanitarian assistance and on the process that will guide future talks. The leader of the ELN delegation, Israel Ramírez Pineda (‘Pablo Beltrán’), expressed confidence that a bilateral ceasefire could be secured in the next round of dialogue, which is due to be held in Mexico in January, but armed clashes in the western department of Chocó are already revealing likely difficulties in implementing the humanitarian agreement.
