Human rights organizations documented more than 50 massacres in Colombia this year, including clashes between warring guerilla factions this week that left around 50 people dead.\u00a0Studies\u00a0show that Petro&#8217;s peace negotiation policies have resulted in the expansion of power and membership of armed criminal groups.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The campaign cycle itself has been shadowed by the <span class=\"link\">assassination of a presidential candidate<\/span>, bombings, kidnappings, and the killing of <span class=\"link\">dozens of local political leaders<\/span>.
