Comuneros del Sur surrender weapons and agree to disarmament in landmark peace accord with Colombian President Gustavo Petro.
Colombian armed group Comuneros del Sur (Commoners of the South) has handed over weapons and explosives and signed two agreements with President Gustavo Petro.
The event took place in Pasto, located in Colombia's southwestern Andean region.
Comuneros del Sur described the surrender of explosives, grenades, and other weapons as evidence of their commitment to peace.
The agreements pave the way for approximately 300 Comuneros del Sur fighters to eventually disarm and reintegrate into civilian life.
Until last May, the Comuneros del Sur were part of the leftist National Liberation Army (ELN), a group with around 6,000 fighters still actively engaged in conflict with the Colombian government.
This deal represents the most significant step toward peace since Petro became president in 2022, pledging to end Colombia’s longstanding internal conflict.
