Programa, Córdoba, Montería 19

Abstract

In this section of Voces y Regiones, the interviewee discusses forced displacement and the impact of armed conflict in the department of Córdoba, particularly in Montería. He mentions how violence has forced many people to flee their homes, referencing historical events such as the Banana Massacre and other conflicts that have affected the region. Forced displacement in Colombia has been one of the most severe consequences of the armed conflict, affecting thousands of families who have had to leave their territories in search of safety. Due to its strategic location and history of violence, Córdoba has become a destination for many victims of displacement, leading to significant social and economic changes in the region. The arrival of displaced populations has posed major challenges in terms of housing, employment, and access to basic services, but it has also highlighted the resilience of these communities and their efforts to rebuild their lives.
