North Colombia victims to flee again after return of death threats force

North Colombia victims to flee again after return of death threats force
Oct 2, 2014 posted by Nicolas Bedoya

“Attention!!! A social cleansing group is requested by good citizens and will begin operations in the municipality,” read the first sentence of a pamphlet which forced the second displacement of at least 20 former victims in the north of Colombia.

The pamphlet, which started circulating in the municipality of Remolinos in the Magdalena state, has led to the displacement of various victim families who had returned to their lands after having been displaced from there once before.

Much of the population of Remolinos has been displaced during Colombia’s civil war, and have recently begun to return. However, the recent developments are forcing families to displace themselves once again to nearby towns and cities like Soledad, Santo Tomas and Barranquilla, according to El Espectador newspaper.
