The August 2019 announcement by some top former commanders of the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia-Ejército del Pueblo guerrillas in Colombia that they were resuming armed struggle was a major shock after the peace agreement between the rebels and the Colombian government in 2016. It was the clearest symptom of the current crisis of the peace process. It was not, however, an unforeseeable development. The government had brazenly attacked the content and the spirit of the peace agreement, and the systematic murders of ex-combatants and social leaders remained unpunished. As a result, increasing numbers of ex-combatants had decided to resume armed struggle. To regard these groups as mere criminals underestimates the political content of their statements and overlooks the reasons for this growing phenomenon. An exploration of the causes of the growing FARC-EP dissidences sets the stage for a discussion of the likely scenarios for conflict and peace building in the middle term. El anuncio de algunos ex comandantes de la guerrilla de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia-Ejército del Pueblo en agosto de 2019 sobre su reanudación de la lucha armada causó gran conmoción después del acuerdo de paz de 2016 entre los rebeldes y el gobierno. Este fue el síntoma más claro de la actual crisis del proceso de paz, pero no se trató de un acontecimiento imprevisible. El gobierno ya había atacado descaradamente el contenido y espíritu los acuerdos, y los asesinatos sistemáticos de excombatientes y líderes sociales seguían impunes. Como resultado, un número cada vez mayor de excombatientes se decidían por reanudar la lucha armada. Considerar a estos grupos como meros delincuentes subestima el contenido político de sus declaraciones y pasa por alto las razones de este fenómeno creciente. Una exploración de las causas de las progresivas disidencias de las FARC-EP sienta las bases para una discusión sobre escenarios probables en torno la construcción tanto de conflictos como de la paz a mediano plazo
