About 100 FARC-Dissident Fighters Disarm in Putumayo Under Colombia's Total Peace Policy

| Peace Processes

June 19, 2026 — Roughly 100 fighters from the Comando Coordinador Nacional, a dissident faction of the demobilized FARC, formally surrendered weapons at a ceremony in Putumayo and entered a temporary resettlement and reintegration zone. The disarmament was one of the more concrete deliverables of President Gustavo Petro's 'Total Peace' policy, which has pursued parallel negotiated tracks with multiple armed groups since 2022 with uneven results. The event came days before Colombia's June 21 presidential runoff, in which the future of Total Peace itself was a central campaign issue.
