Colombia: Clashes between two rebel factions kill 18
BOGOTÁ, Nov 21 (NNN-AGENCIES) — At least 18 people were killed in Colombia in clashes between holdouts from the former rebel army FARC and another armed group linked to drug trafficking, the government said.
The government ombudsman’s office said the fighting occurred on Saturday in southwest Colombia, near the border with Ecuador.
The clashes involved rebels who have rejected a 2016 peace agreement that the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) signed with the government and a criminal band that calls itself Comandos de la Frontera, or Border Commandos.
