RIOS SIERRA, Jerónimo  and  CASTILLO CASTANEDA, Alberto. Challenges and realities of peace in Colombia: an analysis of the discourse of the voices of retired military personnel. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.44, pp.864-886.  Epub Oct 01, 2023. ISSN 1900-6586.  https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.1166.

This article aims to analyze the perspective of some retired officers of the Colombian Armed Forces in relation to the violence produced after the Peace Agreement with the FARC-EP, signed in 2016. For this purpose, the most relevant points of the agreement on this issue are analyzed, and aspects such as the proliferation of dissidence, drug trafficking or the difficulties to co-opt the territory inscribed in the geography of violence are addressed. As a result, there is a relative feeling of suspicion and skepticism that, in any case, includes elements of self-criticism and the need for transformation. The purpose of this article is to contribute to the understanding of the perspective of the military, who offer a valuable contribution to strengthen the States response in the management of the internal armed conflict.

Keywords : FARC-EP; military forces; peace agreement; violence.
