Colombia will launch a military offensive against illegal armed groups linked to drug trafficking in its border areas, for which it requested the collaboration of Brazil, Ecuador, Panama, Peru and Venezuela, Colombian Interior Minister Alfonso Prada announced Monday.

The South American country of 50 million people is facing an internal conflict that has lasted almost six decades that has left at least 450,000 dead, despite the efforts of the government of President Gustavo Petro to silence the guns and stop the bloodshed.

Petro, recently re-established a peace negotiation with the National Liberation Army (ELN) guerrillas in Venezuela and seeks to implement a peace agreement that was signed in 2016 with the former FARC guerrillas.

The president intends to incorporate the FARC factions that did not accept the pact and others that returned to the armed struggle, while the criminal gangs involved in drug trafficking will be offered a plan to submit to justice, which includes benefits such as discounts of penalties in exchange for the delivery of routes and fortunes obtained illegally.

"We will have contact at the level of the Defense Ministers, the force commanders and the regional commanders of each of the sectors on the border," Prada explained at the end of a security council in the Presidency without providing further details.

Prada said that it is about dealing with multi-crime groups with international projection, which is why the collaboration of those countries is needed.

By Claudia Dominguez

“At approximately 4:20 pm we received a call regarding a fire in the store.

There were no customers in the store at the time.

"The building is a total loss and the fire department will be working for several hours tonight to make sure nothing else ignites," he added.

Some universities in Beijing are offering transportation that would allow students to return home early amid protests

by CNN

What moves young Chinese to confront the regime in their country?

1:30

Days after protests broke out across China, including on many university campuses, some universities in the Chinese capital of Beijing have opened enrollment for students to sign up for transportation arrangements to return home early, citing an effort to reduce fees. Covid-19 risks of students taking transport to return home, China's state-run tabloid Global Times reported on Sunday.

Starting Tuesday, Tsinghua University will provide direct transportation to Beijing train stations and airports for students returning home early, the university said in a statement posted on its official WeChat account on Saturday.

Students can reserve seats online and use the service for free, the university added.

Peking University, another of the city's major universities, arranged buses for students to go to airports, train stations and bus terminals starting Sunday, in order to “meet the real needs of students, minimize contact between students and society, and ensure the safety of students on the way home," according to a notice seen by CNN.

The Peking University campus has been closed since mid-November.

The University of International Business and Economics and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Beijing have also started helping students return home, the Global Times reported on Sunday.

CAS will organize students into groups in the order of registration to prevent students from returning home en masse and sparking a new round of outbreaks, a CAS student told the Global Times on Sunday.

The announcements come after nationwide protests in a rare show of dissent against the ruling Communist Party sparked by anger over the country's increasingly costly zero-covid policy.

Protests also took place on campuses, including at the prestigious institutions of Beijing University and Tsinghua University in Beijing, and the Communication University of China, Nanjing.

Beijing universities have been the origin of the demonstrations that started the May Fourth Movement in 1919, from which the Chinese Communist Party traces its roots, and the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989 that eventually led to the massacre of unarmed civilians.

Given the long history of student-led movements in modern China, authorities often worry about mass gatherings of university students on sensitive occasions.
