A leader of the defunct FARC guerrilla who accepted the 2016 peace deal was assassinated by a sniper in Southern Colombia after disarmament was condemned this Tuesday for the emerging party (5).
Rodrigo Londoño, head of the Comunes party, said on Twitter that with the murder of Ronald Rojas, “we reach the horrific number of 333 peace signatories, most of whom were killed in the Duque government.”
Rojas, 41, known as Ramiro Durán during his tenure as leader of the Southern Bloc of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), was shot twice in the chest by a sniper on Monday in a rural area of the city. Neiva detailed the party in a statement.
Before Rojas surrendered its weapons in 2017, it was politically responsible for one of the largest structures of the most powerful guerrilla in America.
After signing the peace, he joined the commission that followed the signed agreements and included Colombian officials. The body condemned “targeted attacks” against ex-guerrillas and their former collaborators in the south of the country.
In April 2021, Rojas left Comunes due to disagreements with the party leadership.
Carlos Ruiz Massieu, head of the UN mission in Colombia, said on Twitter that he was “a leader committed to the region, dialogue and the reintegration process” and “emphasized the need to strengthen the security and peace of former combatants”. leaders”.
Although the peace deal has reduced political violence, Colombia still engages in drug trafficking and armed groups that profit from other illegal proceeds in former FARC domains.
According to the Public Ministry, hundreds of ex-guerrillas who were part of the deal were killed by dissidents who took back their weapons, drug trafficking groups and even members of the public power.
