Nine soldiers have died in Colombia in an attack by the National Liberation Army (ELN), which is in peace talks with the government, President Gustavo Petro and the army said on Wednesday.

“We have prior knowledge of the killing of 9 of our soldiers” in CarmenDepartment north of Santander (Northeast), according to a media release from the army, which attributed the attack to insurgents THEN.

President Petro expressed his “total opposition” to the event on Twitter. without reference to THENThe President assured that the soldiers were the victims of “those who today are absolutely far from the world and the people.”

According to the Governor’s north of Santanderthere are eight more wounded soldiers on the border with Venezuela.

Guevarist-inspired guerrillas have been in dialogue with Petro’s emissaries since November to put an end to their armed uprising that has lasted nearly six decades.

Negotiations began in November Caracas and in March they had a second cycle in mexico city without reaching a ceasefire agreement.

In January, the parties experienced a most tense moment when the rebels denied participation in a bilateral truce, which Petro announced on New Year’s Eve with the main armed groups of the country.

The fighting has continued and the army has consistently condemned kidnappings and explosive attacks that have killed and wounded several people.

This Wednesday’s attack has caused the most casualties since Petro came to power in August.

In September, the dissidents of the partisan FARC who did not accept the 2016 peace agreement, killed seven policemen in the wila (center).

Petro, the first leftist to become president, wants to end conflicts in Colombia with a policy called “Total Peace” that is advancing in fits and starts towards the world’s leading producer of cocaine, the main source of funding for the armed groups operating in the country.

The third cycle of negotiations between the government of Colombia and THEN will take place in Cubaalthough the parties did not specify the date when it will take place.
