This was stated by alias “Andrey”, commander of the Magdalena Medio bloc of the dissidents of the 33rd front of the FARC, who added in statements to the press that his participation in the event that will take place tomorrow at the emblematic Red House is as ” guests”, not “hosts”, because it was not organized by the guerrillas.

In this sense, their participation is to “respond to the concerns” of peasants, indigenous peoples and Afro-descendants regarding the advances in peace that the dissidents of the FARC with the Government are advancing.

“Tomorrow the communities are going to hold an event to which we were called to make some clarifications in reference to what has been working with the national government,” explained the guerrilla, who added that there are “much expectations” in the communities to find out the outcome of this week’s meeting of commanders.

In this meeting, which was “a success” in the words of the dissident, “some concerns that existed within the units in reference to the steps that (the Central General Staff, commanded by “Iván Mordisco”) to from here on in the face of rapprochement or exploratory dialogues with the Government”.

Despite the announcements that the guerrillas assure that they will make tomorrow, the government has avoided specifying when the announcement would be made or more information about the process with the Central General Staff, which was announced by President Gustavo Petro a few weeks ago.
