Ten years ago, a peace deal was signed in Colombia between the government of the time and the FARC guerrilla movement — the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia — intended to end more than fifty years of civil war.
To draw up an assessment of the decade, Mathilde Allain, a lecturer in political science at the Institute of Advanced Studies on Latin America at the University of Sorbonne Nouvelle, was asked about the aftermath of the agreement.
According to her, the period following the signing was marked by a gradual return to arms on the part of certain groups, calling into question the lasting reach of the initial accord.
This assessment comes as Colombia continues to grapple with the consequences of decades of armed conflict, despite the gains made through the peace process.
