A serious situation exists in the rural area of the municipality of Guapi, on the Pacific coast of Cauca, after around 170 people were forced to leave their territory due to threats from armed groups outside the law.
The nearly 40 families left the village of Soledad of the Alto Napi Community Council and arrived at the mayor’s office in the urban center of that locality.

From that date until now, it is estimated that there would be more than 400 displaced people.
Those affected continue in the municipal capital sheltered in the homes of friends or relatives, waiting for their return to be guaranteed.
Those affected have been provided with food and shelter, according to Sánchez.
The area has the presence of crops for illicit use and illegal exploitation of gold.
It is also stated that the victims have been threatened by the armed groups so that they do not report what is happening.
In this territory there are frequent disputes between the FARC dissidents, structure ‘Dagoberto Ramos’ and the ELN, against ‘José María Becerra’.
