AGC vows to assume control over Colombia's cities in blistering attack on Duque


by Billy Wallace December 10, 2018

Colombia’s largest paramilitary group, the AGC, said Sunday that it would redouble efforts to assume control over the country’s main cities in a blistering attack on President Ivan Duque.

According to the paramilitaries, “even in the capital cities the situation is chaotic, making it almost impossible to live together on a daily basis.”

In response to the cry of citizens, we announce that from now on we will redouble our efforts to make political, social and military presence in all capital cities, in order to give tranquility, security and protection to the communities of the popular sectors and the guilds of economic production. In this way, we continue to contribute to the cause of achieving a Colombia in peace, with social justice.

The group of an estimated 7,000 men had been negotiating with the government of former President Juan Manuel Santos about an agreement that would allow them to demobilize and surrender to justice.
