“They told me [members of non-state armed groups]: 'You can't walk from here because there are broker legs [antipersonnel mines]'; I didn't know the expression; I didn't know what that thing was... 'Your people can't walk, you can break your leg,' they told me”, says Jorge, an older adult from the community who, despite living alone he strives to be a good host at home.
His indigenous community made up of wooden houses located on a plain on the shores of one of the rivers from Antioquia, on the Colombian Pacific Coast. The families live surrounded by green mountains covered with tropical forest that make it a paradise. The Embera Katío indigenous community lives here, where the ancestral culture permeates all aspects of the lives of its inhabitants.
In 2022, the community is going through situations of confinement and displacement due to the armed conflict that persists in Colombia.
Despite the peace agreement in Colombia, hundreds of thousands of people continue to be forced to stay in their homes without access to food, water, education or health for days and months as a war strategy.
