Since President Gustavo Petro, Colombia’s first left-wing and former guerrilla president, took office in August 2022, the country’s conflict landscape has continued to evolve. His strategy, known as Total Peace, aims to revamp the implementation of the 2016 peace accords that his predecessor, Iván Duque, failed to implement and to strike new agreements with the rebel, paramilitary, and organized crime groups still active in the country.
