Colombia ends peace dialogue with three armed groups due to lack of "real will for peace"

Euronews Portugal31 August 2026 at 08:23

The Colombian president confirmed the end of peace negotiations with three irregular armed groups. The decision was made due to the lack of "real and verifiable will for peace" on the part of these groups.

The groups affected by the end of the dialogues are two FARC dissidents and the Autodefensas Conquistadores de la Sierra Nevada. These organizations continued with violent activities and did not demonstrate genuine commitment to the peace process.

With the end of the talks, the Colombian government signals that it will not continue investing resources in negotiations that do not present concrete results. The decision reflects the executive's firm position that it requires effective commitments before continuing with any dialogue process.

The announcement represents a setback in the efforts to pacify the armed conflict in Colombia, which had already advanced with previous agreements, mainly with the original FARC. However, the government maintains its willingness to seek peace when there are partners willing to fulfill real commitments.
