Pasto (Colombia) (AFP) – A dissident group of the Colombian guerrilla ELN that is negotiating peace with the government hands over almost 600 bombs, which President Gustavo Petro ordered to be destroyed during a public event. The handover of explosives is a gesture of goodwill towards the peace deal that the left-wing president is promoting with the so-called Comuneros del Sur, a small group with whom he has been negotiating since September as part of his ‘Total Peace’ policy.
