Colombian narco-terrorist groups experienced a staggering 90 percent growth in their ranks during the four-year, far-left presidency of Gustavo Petro, the Colombian newspaper El Tiempo reported on Monday. Some of the negotiation rounds reportedly occurred while the corresponding terrorist groups continued to engage in violent actions throughout Colombia. Ultimately, Total Peace did not result in the dismantlement of the nation’s terrorist groups, nor did it led to any tangible progress towards ending any of the group’s conflicts with the Colombian state. De la Espriella has issued similar “ultimatums” to other armed groups in other areas of Colombia over the past weeks. El Tiempo‘s report comes just hours after the Colombian newspaper El Colombiano published a separate but equally worrisome report indicating that Colombian terrorist groups are utilizing social media platforms — predominantly TikTok — to recruit young Colombian children and teenagers into their ranks.
