The Colombian Armed Conflict
From the FARC's founding in 1964, Colombia endured one of the world's longest internal conflicts, entangling Marxist guerrillas, right-wing paramilitaries, the army and cocaine-trafficking cartels. It killed some 260,000 people and displaced millions. After protracted talks in Havana, President Juan Manuel Santos signed a peace accord with the FARC in 2016 - narrowly rejected in a plebiscite, then revised and ratified - for which he won the Nobel Peace Prize.
