The recent fighting in Algeria, Cauca, where four soldiers were murdered, also caused the displacement of hundreds of families and the confinement of the inhabitants of the Bolivian village.
Daniel Molano, defender of the Cauca sectional people, stated that unfortunately Cauca is once again experiencing a wave of terrible violence.

In addition, the Public Ministry official added that “the displacement continues to develop. The Bolivian sector is absolutely confined. People from the surrounding area are moving towards the municipality of Algeria. There are nearly 300 displaced families.”
The situation is the result of more than a week of fighting between troops against the Carlos Patiño structure.

“We make the call again to remove the civilian population from the armed conflict, it is absurd that the community, the peasants of that sector, continue to suffer from the war,” Molano asserted.
In the municipality of Algeria, in the last month, more than a thousand people were forced to move due to the intensification of the armed conflict.
