COLOMBIA: Farc dissidents wreak havoc in the southwest
The south-western Colombian departments of Cauca and Valle del Cauca have suffered a string of attacks by the Estado Mayor Central (EMC) – the largest grouping of dissident units of the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (Farc) guerrilla group. President Gustavo Petro has been left scrambling to respond to this renewed threat from a rebel force that was until recently engaged in peace talks with his government. On 20 May he replaced the head of the army in an effort to regain the initiative.
