Colombian EMC guerrilla group suspends offensive actions during UN Biodiversity Summit (COP16) in Cali.

Colombia's EMC guerrilla group, which previously threatened the UN Biodiversity Summit (COP16) in Cali, announced they would suspend their offensive actions during the event. The decision comes after the group's announcement, which had prompted concerns about potential violence disrupting the summit. The EMC, a faction of dissident former FARC fighters, pledged not to attack the United Nations' COP16 biodiversity conference in Cali later this year, as a gesture of their commitment to peace. The Colombian government had previously ended a ceasefire with the EMC factions led by Mordisco, while ceasefires with other EMC groups will hold for three more months.
