The solicitor general wants to politically destroy the most important and valuable senator from the left in Colombia.

In my last op-ed I invited readers to imagine peace as an antidote to our perrenial war.

Among the infamies of our internal conflict, one of the greatest, due to it being the most hidden, is the forced disappearance of thousands of people: the students and activists evaporated at the hands of state intelligence bodies under the Security Statute 35 years ago, the "false positives" of the army a few years ago, the social and rural leaders removed by the paramilitaries in the nineties, the soldiers kidnapped by the FARC that never reappeared. All united by uncertain stops and the suffering of families that continue to search for them.

The processes of land restitution are complex and what seems like a false complaint could actually be a typical case of displacement included in the Victims Law.
