At least 80 people killed in northeast Colombia as peace talks fail, official says

People displaced by violence in towns across the Catatumbo region, where rebels of the National Liberation Army, or ELN, have been clashing with former members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, arrive for shelter at a soccer stadium in Cúcuta, Colombia, on Sunday.

Officials said the attacks happened in the Catatumbo region near the border with Venezuela, following the government’s failed attempts to hold peace talks with the National Liberation Army.
