Colombia's President Gustavo Petro campaigned on a promise of "Total Peace" but guerilla groups are thriving during his term, showing no interest in ceasing crime or terrorism.

Petro's initiative depends on cooperation and good faith from myriad criminal groups

Gustavo Petro, a former guerrilla fighter, has pledged a clean break with what he sees as the confrontational, violent policies of his predecessor.

When Duque attended a security meeting in Arauca to discuss security, ELN members appeared openly on the streets of Arauquita, a town not far from the meeting, making a mockery of the administration's efforts.

Moreno Ricardo's daughter says her father was wrongfully arrested, and that he is really a cattle rancher from Acandí.

Duque has insisted that Otoniel's capture marks "the end of the Gulf Clan." This is false. The group still has about 1,700 active members, according to Colombian police.

The massacres in Southeast Antioquia appear related to a confrontation between gangs associated with the Urabeños, which is also known as the Autodefensas Gaitanistas de Colombia (AGC), and the Medellin-based Oficina de Envigado. Both are looking to control local drug markets.

Peace negotiations between Colombia’s government and the ELN have reached their most precarious moment since they began last year.
