TL;DR Summary

The Colombian government has signed a six-month ceasefire with the National Liberation Army (ELN), the country's largest guerrilla group, in a bid to bring an end to the country's internal armed conflict. The ceasefire will come into effect on August 3 and will be monitored by the United Nations and the Catholic Church. However, experts warn that the ceasefire may not be able to fully address the violence in Colombia, as the tensions between the ELN and the government are no longer a focal point of the conflict, and the violence is instead driven by warring armed groups.
