Other MoA event in Colombia on Mon 26th January 2026

Soldiers from the Fourth Brigade of the National Army have deployed to the rural areas of Briceño, Antioquia, in response to ongoing clashes between the Gulf Clan (Clan del Golfo) and dissident factions of the FARC. These confrontations are severely impacting the local civilian population, including reports of displacement and confinement. According to the Army, the armed groups have planted explosive devices (such as improvised mines) throughout the area, significantly slowing troop movements and complicating efforts to secure the zone and protect residents. The deployment aims to restore order, safeguard civilians, and enable the safe return of affected families amid this persistent territorial dispute.
