Separatist conflict in Colombia

The separatist conflict in Colombia primarily involves armed groups like FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) and ELN (National Liberation Army) fighting against the Colombian government. These groups arose in the mid-20th century, seeking land reform, social justice, and political participation for marginalized communities. The conflict has led to violence, displacement, and human rights abuses, deeply impacting Colombia’s society. Although a peace deal with FARC was signed in 2016, challenges persist, with ongoing violence and the presence of other armed groups complicating efforts for stability and reconciliation in the country.
