The National Liberation Army (ELN) released a statement shedding light on their armed actions in the Catatumbo region, sparking controversy over peace agreements and financial interests. The statement claims that certain individuals were not peace negotiators, but rather financial leaders of the 33rd Front. This move has significant implications for the Colombian government and the ongoing peace process, with the ELN accusing the government of supporting financing of armed groups, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability in conflict resolution and peacebuilding efforts, including disarmament and economic development.
