Its sad to see foreigners know more than Colombians about the countrys reality
written by Adriaan Alsema October 23, 2017
The coordinator of a major study on the killing of Colombia’s social leaders has decried public disinterest over these attacks on human rights that terrorize entire communities.
In an interview with newspaper El Espectador, human rights investigator Camilo Bonilla said “it is very said to see” how indifferent the urban population has become over fate of their fellow countrymen in rural areas.
The Colombian armed conflict began in the 1960s and was at its most intense around the turn of the century. Two of the main human rights violators during the conflict, the AUC and the FARC, have demobilized since 2003.
Millions were displaced and hundreds of thousands and been murdered. Tens of thousands of Colombians are still missing.
