Inside Colombia’s drug war: the ELN, FARC, and Golfo Cartel
In Colombia’s Cauca Valley, the drug war is flaring once again. In 2016 the FARC, Colombia’s largest armed revolutionary group, entered into peace negotiations with the government. At the time, 60 percent of Colombia’s coca cultivation occurred in FARC-controlled territories. FARC’s entry into the peace process left a vacuum now being filled by organized crime. Without a comprehensive state-led effort to substitute coca cultivation and provide employment for millions of young people, the drug trade remains the only path to survival for many Colombians. The Real News reports from Colombia, embedding with FARC fighters who are once again picking up the gun, members of the Golfo Cartel overseeing the production of cocaine, and the ELN, which is waging a war against narco-traffickers as part of its program of socialist revolution.
