Unfortunately, not everything is hope in Colombia
Rural areas still at danger, the state’s humanitarian
commitment must remain. During the �rst two months of
the year (2017) there have been 7 massive displacements.
Approximately, 2,408 people have been displaced
in those rural areas.
Displacement is caused by unidenti�ed non-state armed actors, organized armed
groups and splinter groups that are emerging out of the peace process.
Armed confrontations, threats and intimidation, torture and assassinations, persecution and presence of unidenti�ed armed groups caused forced displacements. Indigenous (54%) and Afro-Colombian (41%) communities are the most a�ected.
4,9 million still depend on humanitarian aid in the country; OCHA estimates that almost 113,000 con�ict related new displacements occurred in 2016.
With the FARC guerrillas likely to begin disarming, this should be a time of hope; instead, for social leaders, it is a time of alarm. The last several
weeks we have seen a wave of murders of social leaders, indigenous leaders, land and restitution leaders, and human rights defenders.
At least 80 leaders were killed in 2016 and 18 community leaders have been assassinated since the signing of the peace deal in December.
The work of building the peace needs to start immediately the
a�ected population needs to feel the positive impact of the peace
in order for them to continue to support the peace process.
The Colombian government’s National Unit for Victims, which began work in late 2011, has approved the provision of reparations to over 295,000 people who su�ered a lost relative,
forced displacement, torture, sexual violence, or another tragedy as a result of the con�ict.
However, over 6.3 million Colombians are in fact registered with the Unit, and determined to be “subject to assistance and reparations” victims
should remain �rst.
