Colombia's National Liberation Army (ELN) rebels have expressed willingness to negotiate peace with whoever wins Sunday's presidential runoff. However, the commander of one of the group's fronts stated they are confident they can survive a renewed military offensive promised by the right-wing frontrunner. The statement was made to Reuters deep in the jungle of northwestern Colombia. The ELN's stance highlights the challenges ahead for the next administration in addressing the country's long-running insurgency.
