BOGOTA: Five members of an indigenous guard in Colombia have been killed in what is being described as a massacre by a dissident guerrilla front.
Colombia’s military says the attack happened Tuesday and also left six people injured near Tacueyo, about 73 kilometers from Cali.
Authorities say the massacre appears to be in retaliation for the capture of three members of a residual front of the former Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.
President Iván Duque condemned the massacre and ordered the military to the attack site.
Dozens of indigenous Colombians have been killed in recent years alongside social leaders in the aftermath of the 2016 peace accord.
The leaders are being targeted by illegal armed groups seeking to exert their control over former rebel territory and lucrative drug routes.

Macron warns of renewed US clashes as he urges EU to use ‘Greenland moment’ to push reforms
PARIS: French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday Europe should brace for further clashes with the US and treat the recent “Greenland moment” as a wake-up call to push through long-delayed economic reforms and strengthen the bloc’s global power. In interviews published on several European newspapers, Macron said Europe should not mistake a lull in tensions with Washington for a lasting shift despite the apparent end of disputes over Greenland, trade and technology.
“When there’s a clear act of aggression, I think what we should do isn’t bow down or try to reach a settlement. I think we’ve tried that strategy for months. It’s not working,” Macron told several papers, including Le Monde and the Financial Times.
Macron said the Trump administration was being “openly anti-European” and seeking the EU’s “dismemberment.”
“The US will, in the coming months — that’s certain — attack us over digital regulation,” Macron added, warning about potential US import tariffs from US President Donald Trump should the EU use its Digital Services Act to control tech companies.
The French leader also renewed his call for fresh common borrowing, such as eurobonds, arguing this would allow the EU to invest at scale and challenge the hegemony of the US dollar.
EU leaders will meet in Brussels on Thursday for a summit where they will discuss measures to strengthen the EU economy and make it better able to stand up to the US and China on the global stage.
