Colombia's journey towards peace just took a monumental step forward! On Saturday, the Colombian government and the ELN guerrilla group signed their first agreement in the latest round of peace talks. 🕊️
After years of on-and-off negotiations, this new agreement promises to bring civil society into the peace process, giving a voice to the people most affected by decades of conflict. 🙌
The negotiations kicked off in late 2022 and picked up steam again in early April this year in Venezuela. With this agreement, there's renewed hope that Colombia can finally turn the page on a long history of armed conflict that has impacted countless lives. ❤️
For many young Colombians, this could mean a future filled with more opportunities, safety, and unity. Let's keep our fingers crossed and support this journey towards lasting peace! ✊🇨🇴
