ELN Declares Unilateral Ceasefire for Christmas Amid Violence in Colombia

The Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN) has announced a unilateral ceasefire across Colombia during the Christmas and New Year festivities, effective from midnight on December 24 until midnight on January 3, 2026. This decision comes in stark contrast to a recent surge in violence attributed to the group, including attacks and intimidation across multiple regions. The ELN criticized the U.S. military presence in the Caribbean, claiming it exacerbates violence and threatens local communities. The ceasefire follows a 72-hour armed strike last week that resulted in numerous violent incidents, including the tragic deaths of an ambulance driver and several soldiers in a drone attack. The ceasefire aims to promote peace during the holiday season despite ongoing tensions.
