Governor Rafaela Cortés asserted that behind the kidnapping that occurred in the Meta department are FARC dissidents who rejected the 2016 peace agreement and "instrumentalize the civilian population against the forces of law and order", she accused, in a video posted on the social network Instagram.
The authorities had previously announced that two investigators from the Colombian Attorney General's Office had been kidnapped in the southwest of the country by the Central General Staff (EMC), the largest faction of FARC dissidents who rejected the 2016 peace agreement.
The two civil servants and the woman who accompanied them have been detained since Friday in a rural area of Santander de Quilichao, in the department of Cauca, in the southwest of the country, and "are in good health", the EMC said today.
In 2022, the Colombian military intelligence services estimated the number of EMC troops at around 3,500 guerrillas. The organization controls revenue from drug trafficking and illegal mining.
At the end of 2023, a truce was reached between the EMC and the Government of President Gustavo Petro, in power since August 2022 and who is trying to renegotiate peace with these dissidents.
After a series of attacks on civilians and security forces, the assassination of an indigenous leader by the rebels eventually led the Government to decree, on March 17 this year, the end of the ceasefire in three departments in the southwest of the country.
