Four Colombian Army soldiers were killed in fights with FARC dissidents a day before a meeting between the rebel group
The soldiers were killed “in fighting against a residual armed group”, the ministry said in a statement, referring to the name used by authorities for armed groups that did not accept a 2016 peace agreement.
The EMC is due to begin a three-day meeting on Monday with the government to decide on a date for future peace talks, and to formalize a bilateral ceasefire, Bogota said Saturday morning, hours before the four soldiers were killed. Coca cultivation is illegal, but a mainstay for many in the South American country of 50 million people.
Gustavo Petro, the first leftist president in Colombia’s history, has sought to defuse the country’s more than six-decade conflict through agreements with the various armed groups.
