BOGOTA: Violence displaced more than 44,000 people in Colombia in the first six months of 2021, more than three times the number a year earlier, the country s rights ombudsman, the Defensora del Pueblo, said on Tuesday.
Colombia is in the midst of it s worst outbreak of violence since a 2016 peace deal ended decades of armed conflict.
Dissident FARC rebels who refused to lay down arms, still-active ELN guerillas, armed drug-trafficking groups and rightwing paramilitaries are all battling for control of lucrative cocaine and illegal mining zones.
