Colombia resumes peace talks with Second Marquetalia rebel group, led by President Petro's administration, under 2016 peace deal commitments.

Colombia resumed peace talks with the Second Marquetalia rebel group led by President Gustavo Petro's administration, aiming to engage in politics without arms if the government honors its commitments from a 2016 peace deal. The talks are controversial due to the group's historical ties to the former FARC and ongoing drug trafficking investigations. Second Marquetalia leader Ivan Marquez praises President Petro's efforts to address poverty and inequality.
