Comandos de la Frontera

So what?  The reversal ends the “total peace” practice of shielding negotiators from extradition, so other armed-group leaders with pending US requests lose their bargaining chip. Expect rival factions to contest the Putumayo cocaine corridor in the short term, with the signal being any Comandos retaliation or displacement in the department.

So what?  A named cross-border alliance, rather than parallel but separate trafficking, means disrupting one side's logistics increasingly requires coordinating with the other country's forces on the same operation rather than treating the border as a hard interdiction line. If the transit estimate holds, Ecuador's Pacific ports — not Colombia's own coastline — are now the more consequential customs and container-targeting chokepoint for southern Colombian cocaine.
