by Adriaan Alsema January 22, 2020
Paramilitaries assassinated two people, injured two and displaced 70 on Tuesday, two hours after Colombias President Ivan Duque left the Bajo Cauca region where he vowed to improve security for the second time.
The paramilitary assault made it clear that Duques latest promise was as credible as the strong offensive against drug trafficking the president promised when he visited the historically neglected region in October 2018.
Locals told regional news website Minuto 30 that heavily armed paramilitaries set up a roadblock in the locality of Taraza and shot two drivers who refused to stop.
The group then went to the nearest farm and assassinated two workers in cold blood.
