Colombia shocked by two massacres on one day as Duque goes mute
by Adriaan Alsema November 23, 2020
Colombia’s far-right President Ivan Duque went mute on Sunday after two massacres made it painfully clear how his government is sinking the country into violent chaos.
A massacre in Betania, a small town in the southwest of the Antioquia province, became the 76th this year and left seven people dead and three people injured.

Duque’s “Peace with Legality”
The peace process is fiercely opposed by the president’s political patron, former President Alvaro Uribe, a former Medellin Cartel associate who is being investigated for his alleged complicity in three massacres.
Instead of implementing the peace process, Duque created a so-called “Peace with Legality” process, which appears to be sinking historically violent regions like Antioquia and Cauca into violent chaos.
