Government Air Strikes Kill 20 Alleged Guerrillas in Colombia, President Says The latest air strikes in southern Colombia, carried out by the new right wing government led by President Abelardo de la Espriella, have killed 20 alleged members of the Central General Staff (EMC) armed group.
This is just the latest move in a string of aggressive military operations against guerrilla groups funded by drug trafficking, illegal mining, and extortion.
De la Espriella's administration has been quick to tout its commitment to taking on these groups.
