BOGOTA — Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Sunday said he had suspended a ceasefire with the Clan del Golfo, the country’s largest criminal organization, because it had attacked police. “I have ordered the armed forces to reactivate all military operations against the Clan del Golfo,” Petro said in a tweet. “We will not allow them to continue sowing anxiety and terror in the communities.”The ceasefire with the Clan, also known as the Gaitanista Self-Defense Forces , was part of efforts to end the group’s part in Colombia’s internal conflict, which has killed at least 450,000 people. Announced on New Year’s Eve, it was scheduled to last six months.
Days earlier, in a radio interview on March 13, Petro accused the group of destroying a municipal aqueduct in Antioquia province amid roadblocks connected to protests by informal gold miners. Petro said at the time that the group had “broken the ceasefire” and there was no possibility of negotiations with the group if they continue attacks.
