Colombia peace process

The Colombia peace process refers to efforts to end decades of armed conflict between the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), a guerrilla group. It involved negotiations leading to a 2016 peace agreement that disarmed FARC fighters, allowing them to reintegrate into society. The deal also included rural development, justice for victims, and political participation for former rebels. While it marked a significant step toward peace, some challenges remain with implementing the agreement fully and addressing other ongoing conflicts. Overall, it aimed to reduce violence and promote stability in Colombia.
