Iván Márquez

Iván Márquez is a Colombian former guerrilla leader who was a key figure in the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), a group that fought for social and political change through armed conflict. After 50 years of conflict, FARC signed a peace agreement in 2016, and Márquez transitioned into politics. However, he later rejoined some armed activities, leading to accusations of returning to illegal armed actions. His involvement highlights the ongoing complexities of Colombia's peace process and the challenges of transitioning from conflict to peace.
