Embera indigenous people set up camp in the National Park in Bogota, saying that they had no choice but to leave their rural lands due to the threat of armed groups. "We need the government to respect the Indigenous peoples," says one community leader, pleading that authorities protect them in their violence-stricken territories. Colombia is experiencing its most violent period since the 2016 peace deal officially ended a near six-decade civil war, as the ELN, drug traffickers and dissident FARC guerillas continue fighting for territorial control, with civilians often caught in the cross fire.
