EspañolColombian armed forces clashed with the National Liberation Army guerrilla group during the early hours of Thursday, September 7 despite ongoing attempts at disarmament and peace.

The fight occurred mere days after negotiating delegations for the government and the guerrilla group — known by their acronym ELN — agreed to a bilateral ceasefire starting October 1. Progress was pushed forward thanks in part to a visit by Pope Francisco, but it doesn’t look to have changed action on the ground in Colombia.

According to the Third Division of the National Army that carried out the operation in the area, it was guerrilla leader Milton Hernández who led the confrontation, and his troops who are responsible for the recent attacks on sugar mills in the northern part of Cauca. They have also reportedly burnt crops, sabotaged machinery, stolen firearms, radios and a motorcycle belonging to a security company.

According to authorities, the guerrillas are also responsible for extortion and drug trafficking and illegal mining.
