Government rescinds glyphosate ban and other news

The Colombian government has revoked a previous resolution that suspended the use of glyphosate in aerial eradication of illicit crops, lifting the ban on the chemical but maintaining the court-established route. The decision comes amid ongoing efforts to combat illegal drug cultivation in regions like Putumayo. Meanwhile, President Abelardo de la Espriella authorized the extradition of Geovany Andrés Rojas, a leader of the Frontier Commands, and captured another commander, 'Richard.' Additionally, military forces reported the removal of eight members of the 'Calarcá' dissident group in Guaviare. The government also announced a significant increase in service contracts, though independent analysis suggests a more modest rise. Environmental concerns remain, with discussions around the Amazon biome's status as a Renewable Natural Resources Reserve.
