Guaviare: 70 indigenous Jiw displaced by clashes between dissidents

The mayor of San José del Guaviare, Willy Rodríguez, reported that approximately 70 members of the Jiw indigenous community have been displaced due to armed clashes between two factions of the former FARC rebels known as 'Mordisco' and 'Calarcá'. This brings the total number of displaced individuals in the municipality to 253 since last year. The displacement has led to a humanitarian crisis, with the local government lacking resources to adequately support the displaced population. Rodríguez emphasized the need for national government intervention, particularly from the Ministry of Interior, stating that previous attempts to secure assistance have been unsuccessful. He called for sustained engagement and practical solutions to address the ongoing conflict and assist the affected communities.
