99 Demobilized Comandos de la Frontera Fighters Appeal to De la Espriella to Honor Peace Deal

Ninety-nine former fighters (86 men and 13 women) from Comandos de la Frontera, a FARC-descended dissident group that demobilized under President Petro's 'Total Peace' policy, publicly appealed to incoming President de la Espriella to honor the reintegration commitments made to them, fearing arrest or attack under his hardline security agenda. Fighter Adrián Zambrano urged the government to 'keep betting on peace, because war brings nothing good' and invited de la Espriella to visit their demobilization zone in Putumayo. De la Espriella, who has called Petro's peace process a 'sham' and pledged to end it, has left the group's promised cash payments, job training, and reintegration funds in limbo; government peace negotiator Armando Novoa warned that abandoning the agreements would be 'institutional suicide' that would signal Colombian state commitments are not binding.
