Colombian Peace Process

The Colombian Peace Process refers to efforts, primarily initiated in the early 2010s, to end decades of armed conflict between the Colombian government and the FARC guerrilla group. This conflict, which began in the 1960s, involved violence driven by political, social, and economic issues. In 2016, a historic peace agreement was signed, leading to the disarmament of FARC and their transformation into a political party. The process aimed to address underlying causes of the conflict, promote reconciliation, and foster stability in Colombia, though challenges remain in implementation, security, and the reintegration of former combatants.
