A fresh outbreak of guerrilla violence amid a faltering peace process in Colombia has left more than 80 people dead, including civilians, and displaced around 11,000 in just four days, officials reported Sunday.

At least 39 people have been killed in violence involving leftwing guerillas near Colombia's restive border with Venezuela, authorities said Friday, prompting the government to suspend high-stakes peace talks with the group.

At least 30 people have been killed in violence between rival leftwing groups near Colombia's restive border with Venezuela.

At least 80 people were killed in northeast Colombia following failed attempts at peace talks with the National Liberation Army, a Colombian official said.

The death toll from attacks by a rebel group in Colombia's Catatumbo region has risen to 60, the country's human rights office has said. Rival factions have been vying for control of the cocaine trade in the region - which sits near the border with Venezuela - for years.
