Colombia Ends ZUT for Commandos, Approves Aerial Glyphosate Spraying Pilot

Colombia's National Narcotics Council has ordered a pilot plan for aerial eradication of illicit crops using glufosinate ammonium, reversing a previous ban on aerial spraying. The government also ended the Zona Única de Tránsito (ZUT) for the Comandos, a security measure. This marks a policy shift in counternarcotics strategy, with potential implications for rural conflict dynamics and international relations.
