Colombia registers 12th massacre so far this year
by Adriaan Alsema February 18, 2021
Colombia’s 12th massacre horrified locals of a picturesque town in the country’s coffee growing region on Wednesday as violence continues to increase.
The massacre of five alleged coffee pickers took place in Andes, a town in the usually calm southwest of the Antioquia province, which has seen four massacres so far this year.
One farmworker was injured, but survived the massacre, according to local authorities.
Hooded armed men allegedly forced the victims to leave the room in the farmhouse where they were sleeping and opened fire.
Local authorities said that the deadly victims had also been injured by knives and a machete in an apparently random attack.
