Courtesy: VOAnews.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b><\/b>In 2016, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos was awarded the coveted Nobel Peace Prize for his landmark peace agreement with the leftist guerilla Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Since then, however, more than 300 social group activists have been killed throughout Colombia, and the frequency of these violent attacks seems to be increasing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Over the weekend of Aug. 4-5, two more social leaders, Alfredo Alonso Ruiz Higuita and Hern\u00e1n Dar\u00edo Chavarr\u00eda Areiza, were killed in the Antioquia region. According to the Coordinaci\u00f3n Colombia Europa Estados Unidos (CCEEU), there have been 21 assassinations in 2018 in Antioquia alone. In Colombia as a whole, various NGOs have reported more than 100 and counting in this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Most of these assassinations have been conducted in rural areas formerly under guerrilla control\u2014specifically Cauca Nari\u00f1o, Norte de Santander and Valle del Cauca, hotbeds for conflict that have experienced the brunt of the recent violence. However, leaders have been assassinated in nearly every part of the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The prevailing assumption is that the targeted assassinations of prominent social leaders are meant to prevent the local stabilization that theoretically should come from the peace deal. In the disarray of the guerrilla demobilization, other groups with nefarious objectives have attempted to seize power.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cIn many cases, criminal activity has increased in the last case [of Higuita and Areiza] because the vacuum left by the demobilization of FARC has not been filled by the state,\u201d explained William Spindler, spokesman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38715\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38715\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Colombia_02web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-38715\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Colombia_02web.jpg?resize=450%2C303&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Colombia_02web.jpg?w=625&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 625w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Colombia_02web.jpg?resize=600%2C404&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Colombia_02web.jpg?resize=360%2C242&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38715\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Social leader Hern\u00e1n Dar\u00edo Chavarr\u00eda, was found dead in an area of La Uni\u00f3n, Antioquia. Courtesy Courtesy: RCNradio.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p5\">Land rights is a critical issue.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Roughly 80 percent of the victims had previously spoken out against the unequal allocation of land resources in impoverished areas, largely in the face of extractivist policies. And with the recently elected Iv\u00e1n Duque-led regime being largely supportive of extractivism, social leaders could have reason to distrust the government.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Some activists believe the reason for this new spike is the recent presidential elections, where the right-wing Duque won over ex-guerilla member Gustavo Petro. Similar to the<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Trump-era United States, many right-wing groups have become emboldened by the winning regime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cThese kinds of murders were gone from Colombians\u2019 reality for a long time, but they\u2019re back and they started happening after the presidential elections in which Iv\u00e1n Duque won as the new president,\u201d said Mar\u00eda de la Torre, a columnist for El Tiempo, \u201cNeither him or [former president] Santos has said a word about these murders of people that are just standing up for the peasants and the rights of the weakest and the most vulnerable people in Colombia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Impunity and a lack of justice for the victims remains widespread. In the vast majority of cases, the perpetrators are neither known nor actively pursued by law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cWhat we see is that in countries where there is no social order it\u2019s very difficult to fight impunity, it\u2019s important to train judges, and to pay good salaries to judges so they are not tempted to receive bribes, and are able to fight effectively against impunity,\u201d explained Michel Forst, UN special rapporteur on human rights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Many believe that organized paramilitary groups\u2014long a problem in Colombia\u2014are the main culprits. In July, a far-right paramilitary group known as the Aguilas Negras issued a threat to all social leaders who they claim are \u201cguerillas in disguise.\u201d A statement, widely circulated among social groups throughout Colombia, issued a clear threat to those who went against their interests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cGuerrilla organizations and leaders will disappear. Our country cannot be home of guerrillas and militias disguised as supposed social leaders,\u201d the statement read. \u201cBecause of this we have begun our extermination effort in all Colombian territory, and nothing or nobody will stop us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">For his part, Duque recently spoke out against the violence. In a meeting with the Colombian Ombudsman Carlos Alfonso Negret, he laid out his intentions: \u201cWe are going to work together to avoid the assassination of social leaders, to work for indigenous and campesino communities, and for there to be no further violation of human rights in Colombia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Activists both inside and outside the country are mobilizing to spread visibility to the conflict. Surviving social leaders have organized a Twitter campaign titled #NosEstanMatando in order to raise public awareness of the conflict. Protests have been organized in Bogot\u00e1 and spread throughout other regions of the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Colombian social leaders are continuing to fight even in the face of death, but it is uncertain how much longer can they hold out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cI am here because the only thing that remains is to resist with many people who sympathize with us,\u201d Catherine Rivera, a university student, said at an organized rally in Bogot\u00e1 last month. \u201cWe can only resist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Michael Middleton is an intern at El Tecolote and is currently studying to obtain his Master\u2019s degree in International Studies from the University of San Francisco.
