Colombia Approves Pilot Aerial Fumigation for Coca Eradication

Colombia's National Narcotics Council has authorized a pilot program for aerial eradication of illicit crops using glufosinate ammonium, reversing a decade-long ban on aerial spraying. This policy shift, confirmed by multiple sources, also includes the termination of the Zona Única de Tránsito (ZUT) for the Comandos, indicating a significant change in counternarcotics strategy under President Petro.
