💨 Abstract

The Colombian government condemned the ELN rebel group's "armed strike," which restricts civilian movement and commerce in response to U.S. military activity in the Caribbean. The strike, lasting until Wednesday, aims to protest U.S. actions in Latin America. The ELN, active since the 1960s, has a history of violence and supports Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Recent attacks included an army base and a police station, resulting in an ambulance driver's death.
