BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombia's attorney general's office on Wednesday reissued arrest warrants for leaders of the National Liberation Army (ELN) rebels, who had been participating in peace talks, as forced displacement caused by ELN attacks rose to 32,000 people.
A sharp uptick in violence over the past week in the Catatumbo region, an area along the eastern border with Venezuela considered strategic for drug trafficking, has thrown an already-fraught effort by President Gustavo Petro to end six decades of war into crisis and caused the most pronounced humanitarian catastrophe in Colombia in recent years.
