AI Summary:
Gustavo Petro’s decree gives him up to 270 days to impose curfews. It applies to the rural Catatumbo region on Colombia’s northeastern border with Venezuela. At least 80 people have been killed, and more than 32,000 have been forced to flee their homes in recent weeks. Office of Colombia’s attorney general also reissued arrest warrants for ELN leaders. It said it was revoking the benefits of suspended arrest warrant. The ELn has denied attacking civilians and said its offensive is against a faction of former FARC rebels and the demobilised rebels. Rights groups have urged the government to ensure civilians are protected. United Nations chief Antonio Guterres expressed concern at the situation. Many Catatumbo residents have fled to Venezuela or to the neighbouring Colombian region of Norte de Santander.
