by Adriaan Alsema April 8, 2021
A massacre of four people in southwest Colombia on Wednesday painfully highlighted the ongoing increase of violence in the country.
According to Senator Valencia Feliciano, an native Colombian leader from Cauca, reported the murder of four people in Santander de Quilichao, a municipality in the north of the province.
The massacre is the 26th so far this year, according to think tank Indepaz which has been monitoring violence for years.
The mass killings would have cost the lives of 99 people so far this year.
