Sourth America's oldest democracy, Colombia is also one of the most violent places on earth. The most problematic thing in Colombia is the Civil war which started in 1978 and is still going this day. The Colombia army when trying to stop and capture guerrillas they kill many inosent people that are in the way of their goal. People in the streets are more involved in violence that the military or the guerrilla, the civilians are killed everyday. Because of many human right like murder and turture of 4 presidents, 1200 police officers and much more political entities in colombia and no action been take to defend the civilians, they themself, they creat groups of people which fight to defend their human rights. The U.S. have given more than 3.7 billion dollars for the for the civil war which is still going and have no end date yet.
"Violations of international humanitarian law—the laws of war—are not abstract concepts in Colombia, but the grim material of everyday life."
