Duque criticized from all sides over Colombia's indigenous 'genocide'
by Adriaan Alsema November 1, 2019
Colombia’s government has come under fire from all sides over the mass killing of indigenous leaders.
The United Nations, Congress, regional authorities and indigenous authorities have criticized the administration of President Ivan Duque in unison over what the native Colombians have called a genocide.
The massacre of an indigenous governor and four guards by dissident FARC guerrillas on Tuesday and Duque’s announcement to militarize the northern Cauca region have been widely rejected.
According to Cauca governor Oscar Rodrigo Ocampo, the government is “only fighting the effects and not the cause” of the violence he said “is unprecedented.”
