Al Jazeera reports on a displacement crisis in Catatumbo, Colombia, sparked by renewed conflict between rebel groups. This violence, occurring despite a 2016 peace agreement with FARC, has forced tens of thousands to flee their homes, overwhelming resources in areas like Cucuta. The displaced face food shortages and uncertainty about returning, straining humanitarian aid efforts. President Petro's "total peace" policy faces challenges as peace talks with the ELN stall and the state struggles to establish a presence in rural areas. The lack of infrastructure and the flourishing coca trade exacerbate the crisis, leaving residents questioning when they can return home. The article highlights the dire situation and the limitations of current efforts to address the root causes of the conflict and provide adequate support.
