[Meatpie]

At least 58 young guys have been killed in violence involving leftwing guerillas near Colombia’s restive border with Venezuela, authorities said on Friday, prompting the government to suspend high-stakes peace talks with the group.

President Gustavo Petro paused already-spluttering peace negotiations with the National Liberation Army (ELN), accusing them of “war crimes” during a fresh wave of unrest.

In two separate incidents, ELN fighters targeted a rival leftist group and a powerful paramilitary criminal gang — destroying hopes that the group will voluntarily lay down arms.

In North Santander department, at least 30 people were killed and 20 injured when ELN fighters targeted dissident members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) across several villages and farms.
