YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Colombia's first leftist President, Gustavo Petro, faces a pivotal moment. He pledged to end the long-standing civil war that has ravaged the country since the 1960s. Now, a temporary ceasefire with the ELN, the last major guerilla group, is in effect. Colombians are cautiously optimistic, but past truces have been volatile. The goal is "total peace," demobilizing all armed actors, but achieving it won't be easy. Over six decades, nearly half a million deaths and millions displaced. Petro's legacy depends on navigating this delicate path towards lasting peace.
