Statement by Mr. KC on the Colombia Ceasefire by ELN and FARC Dissidents

Statement
Thursday, 21 May 2026 – I welcome the ceasefire announced by the ELN and FARC dissident groups in Colombia. However, I sincerely hope this ceasefire becomes permanent and is not limited only to the election period.

I have already communicated with the President of Colombia and offered my mediation support for lasting peace. Colombia needs sustainable and long-term peace. Any path taken against peace by the ELN and FARC dissident groups is not acceptable for the future of the country and its people.

I call upon both the ELN and FARC dissident groups to come forward for peace talks. Peace is the only solution for Colombia. The priority should not be demands, but the people of Colombia and what they truly want — peace, stability, and a better future.

This ceasefire opportunity must encourage the Government of Colombia, the ELN, and the FARC dissident groups to come together at the negotiation table immediately. This is also part of my Global Peace 2030 agenda, because the new generation and the people of Colombia deserve a future built on peace from now onward.

Peace for Colombia is possible through dialogue, unity, and mutual understanding.

– Sappan KC, President / Global Peace 2030
