Colombia

Fernando Espada

from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Volumes of research, articles and political statements have been written about the decades-long conflict in Colombia. But when it comes to actually understanding and confronting the humanitarian consequences of the crisis, the world seems to blindly accept the reality painted by the Colombian authorities and their allies – a reality that denies the existence of a humanitarian crisis, and obscures the role played by the government in contributing to – and even accentuating – humanitarian needs. In a crisis where so many people look the other way and there is always a rationalisation for the suffering, an intuitive analysis might be key for understanding what is really happening.
