Colombian President Gustavo Petro is considering soliciting international funds to finance the National Liberation Army (ELN) in an effort to halt their acts of kidnapping and extortion.While the strategy has elicited diverse opinions, the president has not dismissed the idea of creating an international fund to support the peace process with the ELN.During his visit to Germany, Petro indicated the potential of his administration setting up an international fund to facilitate the ELN’s demobilization process.According to a senior government official, Petro aims to secure economic contributions to ensure the ELN no longer needs to resort to violent tactics for funding.Petro wants wealthy Eurpean countries to finance ELN so they ‘can stop’ acts of kidnapping and extortion.
