00:00What is happening today in Catatumbo?
00:01I travel to that region of the north of Santander
00:03to document the situation after the crisis
00:05by the remit of the ELN in January.
00:07Four months later, the fear continues
00:09and increases by the possible arrival
00:11of a group of the paramilitarism.
00:13Many schools are still inactive,
00:14thousands of displaced people
00:16have not been able to return to their fincas
00:17and the civilians are still falling
00:19in the middle of a violence
00:20that, despite the actions of the government,
00:22never disappeared.
00:23Only it became more selectively.
00:24One of the most recent victims
00:26was a 12-year-old child
00:27who died after a drone attack with explosives.
00:29The Ejército culpó al ELN,
00:31but the guerrilla says that the responsible
00:33was the 33 Frente de las disidencias of the Farc.
00:35While they take the ball,
00:36the civilians are still in the middle,
00:38afraid of.
00:39This became the largest human emergency
00:41in the country,
00:43more than 64.000 people displaced,
00:45almost 14.000 confined
00:46and at least 117 suicidios.
00:49It started on January 16,
00:51when the guerrilleros of the ELN
00:52murdered by the campers
00:53who accused them of collaborating
00:54with the 33 Frente de las disidencias.
00:56The same group that they helped
00:58get up years ago.
01:00In areas like Tibú,
01:01El Tarra y Sardinata,
01:02the control of those two armed groups
01:04are disputed.
01:04But there are alert for graffiti
01:06and threats of the autodefensas
01:07conquistadoras of the Sierra Nevada
01:08that appeared in Ocaña,
01:10a city of Catatumbo
01:11that is limited to the Department of the Cesar.
01:13The Petro propuso concentrar
01:15al Frente 33 en una zona
01:16de ubicación temporal
01:17para empezar a desmovilizarlo,
01:19pero se cumplió el plazo establecido
01:20y el proceso no comenzó.
01:22En la región,
01:22aseguran que el ELN
01:23ha intentado torpedear
01:25esa concentración
01:25de los disidentes
01:26con ataques armados.
01:27Otra de las apuestas del Ejecutivo
01:29es iniciar un programa
01:30para sustituir
01:30casi la mitad de la coca
01:32sembrada en Catatumbo,
01:33unas 25.000 hectáreas,
01:34pero hasta ahora
01:34solo 3.000 familias se han inscrito.
01:37Los pobladores nos dijeron
01:38que hay desconfianza
01:39y ven el nuevo plan
01:40como un Rencauche del Penis,
01:41la iniciativa contemplada
01:42en el Acuerdo de Paz
01:43para reemplazar estos cultivos.
01:45Desde un refugio en Tibú,
01:46líderes desplazados
01:48lo dicen claro,
01:48sin frenar los combates
01:49ningún plan va a funcionar.
01:51Por eso,
01:52ahora proponen algo más urgente,
01:53un acuerdo humanitario
01:54para parar los disparos
01:55y dejar que la gente
01:56pueda vivir en paz.
