Join me on Double Helix: Blueprint of Nations as we uncover Colombia's tireless pursuit of peace, spearheaded by President Juan Manuel Santos. In our deep dive, we'll examine the secret talks with the FARC initiated in 2012, the transformative negotiations in Havana, and the landmark agreements on rural development and political integration. We'll also discuss the critical role of the United Nations in disarmament and the establishment of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), despite the initial plebiscite setback. This episode sheds light on the resilience and courage of the Colombian people at the heart of these historic efforts.

Discover the ongoing struggles that Colombia faces in implementing the 2016 peace agreement amid fierce political opposition and enduring violence from other armed groups like the ELN.
