@visegrad24: 🇨🇴☭⃠Less than three days into taking office, newly inaugurated Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella has authorized a sweeping military offensive into rural territories, launching a simultaneous assault on drug cartels and leftist guerrilla factions under a unified "total war" doctrine. Backed by a fast-tracked $1 billion U.S. security package and inclusion in the Washington-led "Shield of the Americas" alliance, elite military and police battalions have aggressively moved into conflict-heavy regions like Cauca. The initial wave of rural village raids has already resulted in the neutralization of several armed operatives, including a high-profile FARC dissident commander blamed for retaliatory toll-booth bombings, is the new right-wing administration aggressively dismantles jungle cocaine laboratories and strips away the financial and territorial infrastructure of what it classifies as "narco-terrorism".
