Approximately 100 guerrillas from the National Coordinating Committee of the Bolivarian Army laid down their arms in southern Colombia's Putumayo province on Thursday, marking a new peace breakthrough under leftist President Gustavo Petro. The disarmament comes ahead of Sunday's presidential runoff election, in which Petro faces conservative candidate Abelardo de la Espriella. The handover of weapons is part of ongoing peace efforts to end decades of armed conflict in the region.
