ELN releases 17-year-old hostage in Cauca after humanitarian commission intervention

The ELN released a 17-year-old teenager held in Cauca, with a humanitarian commission including the Defensoría, UN, MAPP/OEA, CRIC, and the archbishop of Popayán facilitating the release. This follows ongoing ELN hostage-taking in the region, though details on the circumstances of the abduction and any conditions of release remain unclear. The release is a positive but isolated step amid continued conflict dynamics in southwestern Colombia.
