Colombia to Resume Peace Talks with Gulf Clan After Suspension

Colombia to Resume Peace Talks with Gulf Clan After Suspension

The Colombian government has announced it will resume peace talks with the powerful Gulf Clan following a temporary suspension caused by concerns over a recent deal with the United States. The Gulf Clan, also known as the Gaitanist Self-Defence Forces (ECG), expressed worries about their involvement in the peace process after Colombian President Gustavo Petro and US President Donald Trump met.

Following a meeting between Petro and Trump, the Gulf Clan temporarily suspended talks, which have now been resolved through dialogue. The resumption of talks is mediated by the Catholic Church and supported by governments from Qatar, Spain, Norway, and Switzerland. This development marks an important step forward in Colombia's ongoing efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region.
