On the other hand, it is disturbing that cases of disappearances, threats, selective killings, sexual violence, mass displacement and drop, kidnapping, detention, opposition mines and other explosives, social control continue in Colombia and involvement of the subaltern in armed groups and gangs. There is still a long and complicated way before we can talk about a country that won the war.

In 2017, the Victims Unit reported almost 77,000 victims of conflict and violencemany of them displaced. It’s not just a worrying number of people. Each number represents the story of the pain of a family that should not suffer such a situation.
