Colombia suspends ceasefire with EMC armed group in three provinces due to ceasefire breaches.

Colombia suspends its ceasefire with the EMC armed group in three provinces, citing incidents that broke the ceasefire. The EMC, founded by former FARC rebels who rejected the 2016 peace deal, had been in talks with President Gustavo Petro's government to end Colombia's long-standing conflict. The ceasefire does not affect ongoing negotiations, but the decree calls for a "re-starting of military operations" in the affected areas.
