31 Mayıs 2026Al Jazeera

Juan Manuel Santos, the former president of Colombia, discusses the state of the country's peace process a decade after its initiation. He reflects on the challenges faced in maintaining peace amidst ongoing violence and conflict.
Santos emphasizes the need for continued commitment to the peace agreement to ensure lasting stability in Colombia.
The peace agreement signed in 2016 aimed to end decades of armed conflict between the Colombian government and the FARC guerrilla group. Despite initial successes, the country has faced significant hurdles, including violence from dissident factions and other armed groups.
Santos' insights highlight the complexities of peacebuilding in a nation still grappling with the remnants of conflict. His acknowledgment of the resurgence of violence serves as a reminder that peace is not merely the absence of war but requires active engagement and societal transformation.
