Disidencias de Farc en Cauca atacan como en la peor época del Caguán

TL;DR

  • Attacks occurred in Buenos Aires (Cauca), Cali, La Lizama (Santander), and Villanueva (La Guajira) between December 15-17.
  • Incidents included bombings, armed incursions, and prolonged attacks on police stations and urban areas.
  • These events recall similar violent periods during the Christmas season in previous years, involving groups like FARC and ELN.
  • Experts view the violence as a structural problem stemming from a lack of state control in vast areas, exacerbated by illegal economies like drug trafficking.
  • The cyclical nature of violence, even after peace processes, is linked to the historical absence of sustained institutional presence.
  • The growth of illegal armed structures is seen as a decade-long consolidation, not solely attributed to the current government.
  • Civilian populations remain caught between armed actors, a recurring theme in Colombia's conflict history.
