The Colombian Peace Process

The Colombian Peace Process refers to a series of negotiations aimed at ending decades of armed conflict between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), a guerrilla group. Starting prominently in 2012, the talks culminated in a peace agreement signed in 2016, which included provisions for disarmament, land reform, and political participation for former FARC members. While the agreement has made progress in reducing violence, challenges remain, such as ongoing violence from other groups and ensuring the full implementation of the accord, which is crucial for lasting peace in Colombia.
