Colombia approved joint military operations with the United States against drug traffickers. This was announced by U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after the new government of President Abelardo de la Espriella began taking a harder line against groups involved in drug trafficking. aktuality.sk ↗
According to available information, Bogotá is once again drawing militarily closer to Washington. The joint deployment is intended to target drug cartels and groups designated as terrorist organizations. The Colombian government is thereby following up on statements by the new president, who promised to dismantle criminal networks profiting from the drug business. aktuality.sk ↗
Part of the new course was also Monday's air strikes ordered by the Colombian government against members of the rebel National Liberation Army. Two rebels were killed in the strikes. These measures signal a shift from the previous approach to security policy and greater emphasis on military solutions. svet.sme.sk ↗
Further developments will depend on the scope of the planned operations and on the reaction of armed groups operating in the country. For the government, it will be important whether it can turn its declared fight against narco-terrorism into a lasting weakening of criminal structures. teraz.sk ↗
