Buenaventura marches against the armed strike of the Eln and the violent - Cali - Colombia

In Buenaventura, the clamor of its people persists for years against organized armed groups and drug traffickers that impose a regime of terror on its 400,000 inhabitants.

That cry is reflected in the rejection against the announcement of an armed strike in this district city where the most important port in the south-west of the country operates.

That is why this Thursday, February 24, a mobilization against the violent is expected, like those that have been carried out in recent years, including 2017, with a civic strike of leaders and hundreds of people from the community.

This mobilization has the support of the Diocese of Buenaventura, which, as in the past, has led protests against violence.

The march will depart at 8:00 am from the Sena headquarters and will tour neighborhoods plagued by violence, especially in the insular area.

“We ask that the authorities listen and take urgent measures in the city, which is no longer resisting,” said Monsignor Rubén Darío Jaramillo, Bishop of Buenaventura.

The social leader José Luis Rojas expressed that murders, torture, disappearances and extortion by armed groups with ‘narcos’ are rejected.

The also leader Leonard Rentería pointed out that the National Government continues to ignore the call for help with more social investment and true compliance with the agreements during the civic strike in 2017.
