The FARC’s Children Symbolized Peace. Now, They Represent an Uncertain Future.

In 2016, Colombia felt a moment of hope as Revolutionary Armed Forces of
Colombia (FARC) guerrillas signed a historic peace agreement with the
government, ending decades of conflict. Leaving a life of war, many
ex-guerrillas began to have kids, "niños de la paz" or "peace children,"
who began to represent a new future without war. But as the peace process
unravels years later and violence against ex-combatants is on the uptick,
it's the parents—largely single mothers—who are left with the weight of
collapsing peace and the struggles that come with it on their shoulders.
