Mindefensa entrega detalles de operación en la que murieron miembros de la disidencia de ‘Calarcá’

Defense Minister Jorge Mora provided details about the operation carried out by the security forces on August 27 against a FARC dissident group in a rural area of ​​the Guaviare department, which left 10 members of the illegal armed group dead. In a video published on X, Minister Mora indicated that it was a joint and coordinated operation between the Military Forces and the National Police, consisting of a strategic air strike on three encampments near the Inírida River in the municipality of El Retorno. The military operation targeted “a structure of the ‘Jorge Suárez Briceño’ Bloc led by alias Cotiz, from the faction of the terrorist alias Calarcá,” he explained. As a result of the military operation, ten members of the group died, according to the Ministry of Defense, which noted that three of them were minors. Therefore, he expressed his rejection of the recruitment and use of minors in the conflict, stating that “it constitutes a war crime and a serious violation of International Humanitarian Law. The responsibility of the narco-terrorist Organized Armed Groups is clear, as they violate not only the Statute of the International Criminal Court, but also national legislation that establishes illicit recruitment as a criminal offense.” #colombia #governmentofcolombia #abelardodelaespriella
