Is another peace deal in Colombia possible? | Inside Story

The National Liberation Army, better known as the ELN, says it's resuming its five-decades-long armed activity after declaring a ceasefire exactly one month ago. The country’s largest rebel group says it agreed to a truce to alleviate the humanitarian crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic and as a gesture of peace. More than 6,500 people have tested positive for the virus there and nearly 300 have died.
