The Colombian government and dissidents of the FARC guerrilla group that signed a 2016 peace pact, start talks with a view to demobilizing some 3,500 fighters and putting an end, once and for all, to their armed insurgency. The parties have also agreed to observe a bilateral ceasefire until January 15, according to the defense ministry. Negotiations between the government of President Gustavo Petro and leaders of the so-called Central General Staff (EMC) kick off in Tibu in the country's northeast, an area surrounded by drug crops and hard-hit by the ongoing violence.

Kabul, Aug 3 (EFE/EPA).- Afghanistan has taken large strides in the field of women's rights and empowerment since the fall of the Taliban regime 20 years ago, but now everything could be undone as the Islamist militants rapidly gain ground with foreign troops pulling out of the country.Fakhria Momtaz, a 44-year-old running a yoga club for women in Kabul, is among the many eyeing the Taliban advance with fear and skepticism."If the Taliban come to power that will be really a big shame, a big joke and a big tragedy, not only for the Afghans but for the world, particularly western countries," Momtaz told EFE.

I am 25 years old. I graduated from the Art faculty. I have been painting for five to six years. And it’s in the second year that I have started online painting. As we all know the Taliban have entered Afghanistan and have attacked many provinces and districts.
