曼努埃尔·鲁埃达 博哥塔，哥伦比亚 — 军方称，周一在哥伦比亚西南部一处收费站发生汽车炸弹爆炸，至少造成三名平民受伤，此次爆炸发生在军方与武装团体在该地区的冲突加剧之际。
MANUEL RUEDA BOGOTA, Colombia — A car bomb exploded at a toll booth in southwestern Colombia Monday, injuring at least three civilians, the army said, as fighting between the military and rebel groups intensified in the region.
军方将此次袭击归咎于位于考卡省埃尔博尔多镇附近的卡洛斯·帕蒂诺阵线，该组织由哥伦比亚革命武装力量（FARC）的前成员领导，这些成员未参与2016年哥伦比亚政府与FARC达成的和平协议。
The military blamed the attack near the town of El Bordo in Cauca department on the Carlos Patiño front, a group led by former members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia , FARC, who did not join a 2016 peace deal with the Colombian government.
“我对这一恐怖袭击……泛美公路沿线表示谴责，”哥伦比亚总统阿贝拉尔多·德拉·埃斯皮耶拉在X平台上表示。“袭击基础设施伤害了平民、卡车司机以及所有需要出行的人。”军方称，同一组织周五在廷比奥市镇与士兵发生冲突，导致一名下士死亡。
“I deplore this terrorist attack...along the Panamerican highway,” Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella said on X. “Attacking infrastructure harms people, truck drivers and all of those who need to travel.”The same group clashed with soldiers Friday in the municipality of Timbio, killing a sergeant, according to the army.
周六，在考卡省拉维加，一起针对军事巡逻队的无人机袭击也导致一名士兵死亡。军方将此次袭击归咎于另一组织——民族解放军（ELN）。
On Saturday, a drone attack against a military patrol also killed a soldier in La Vega, also in Cauca. The army blamed that attack on another group, the National Liberation Army , or ELN.
哥伦比亚政府已取消与该国剩余武装团体的和平谈判，因为德拉·埃斯皮耶拉正采取强硬的反犯罪立场。
Colombia’s government has canceled peace talks with the nation’s remaining rebel groups, as de la Espriella takes a hard line on crime.
一些武装团体通过加强对军方的袭击或采取旨在展示其领土控制的行动作出回应。
Some groups have responded by stepping up attacks on the military or taking actions aimed at displaying their territorial control.
九月，在一支毒品帮派点燃车辆并要求企业停业三天——作为对一次军事行动的报复，该行动击毙了其一名领导人之后，哥伦比亚军方向旅游热点城市圣玛尔塔派遣了部队。
In September, Colombia’s military sent troops to Santa Marta , a Caribbean city popular with tourists, after a drug gang set vehicles ablaze and told businesses to shut down for three days, in retaliation for a military operation that killed one of its leaders.
德拉·埃斯皮耶拉于八月就职，他承诺将在全国范围内加强对武装团体的行动，并表示将把这些团体视为恐怖分子。哥伦比亚总统最近成立了一个联合特遣队，以阻止这些团体之一在一条关键输油管道上盗取燃料。
De la Espriella, who took office in August, has promised to intensify operations against rebel groups across the country, whom he said he will treat as terrorists. The Colombian president recently launched a joint task force to stop one of these groups from stealing fuel along a crucial pipeline.
德拉埃斯普里埃拉的政策标志着哥伦比亚发生了重大转变。在过去四年里，哥伦比亚在左翼总统古斯塔沃·佩特罗的政府领导下，曾尝试与反叛组织进行多次谈判。
De la Espriella’s policies mark a significant shift for Colombia, which over the past four years attempted multiple negotiations with rebel groups under the administration of left-wing President Gustavo Petro .
2016年，哥伦比亚政府与该国最大游击队“哥伦比亚革命武装力量”达成和平协议后，估计有1.4万名武装人员放下武器。
In 2016, an estimated 14,000 fighters laid down their weapons following a peace deal between Colombia’s government and the FARC, the nation’s largest guerrilla group.
但该和平协议也在一些农村地区留下了权力真空，而政府填补这一真空的速度一直很慢。
But the peace deal also left a power vacuum in some rural areas that the government has been slow to fill.
近来，规模较小的武装组织一直试图占领此前由“哥伦比亚革命武装力量”控制的领土，并在试图对当地企业征税以及控制包括金矿和贩毒路线在内的资源时，对平民和军方发动袭击。
Recently, smaller armed groups have been trying to occupy territory formerly held by the FARC, waging attacks against civilians and the military as they try to impose taxes on local businesses and control resources that include gold mines and drug trafficking routes.
