Colombian Government in Chaos: Petro Demands Resignations

Al Jazeera informa sobre una crisis de desplazamiento en Catatumbo, Colombia, provocada por el resurgimiento del conflicto entre grupos rebeldes. Esta violencia, que persiste a pesar del acuerdo de paz de 2016 con las FARC, ha obligado a decenas de miles de personas a huir de sus hogares, desbordando los recursos en ciudades como Cúcuta. Los desplazados enfrentan escasez de alimentos e incertidumbre sobre su regreso, lo que pone a prueba los esfuerzos humanitarios. La política de "paz total" del presidente Petro enfrenta desafíos, ya que los diálogos de paz con el ELN están estancados y el Estado lucha por establecer su presencia en las zonas rurales. La falta de infraestructura y el auge del comercio de coca agravan la crisis, dejando a los residentes preguntándose cuándo podrán volver a casa. El artículo resalta la grave situación y las limitaciones de los esfuerzos actuales para abordar las causas profundas del conflicto y brindar el apoyo necesario.
