The FARC (Colombian Alternative Revolutionary People) party said that the execution of an extermination plan against former guerrilla fighters is underway in the Ituango Municipality, in Antioquia.
The humanitarian situation is particularly serious in the Santa Lucia community where 12 former guerrillas, who were in the process of returning to civilian life, have been killed so far.
"The government cannot continue to hide this plan of extermination against peace. We are attending a friend's funeral every three days," a resident said and explained that the presence of the Army is notorious in the zone.
"Although there is a lot of Army and Police there, ex-combatants are killed. They have not been able to prevent this bloodshed," Omar Restrepo, FARC representative said.
Among the actions against the peace process would be an attack on Pastor Alape, who is the FARC delegate to the National Reincorporation Council (CNR).
On Thursday morning, this possible attack was confirmed by President Ivan Duque's Stabilization and Consolidation Adviser, Emilio Archila, who indicated that the Police and the National Protection Unit (UNP).
Since the signature of the Final Peace Agreement between the Colombian government and the FARC-EP, on 24 November 2016, 185 former guerrillas have been murdered.
Antioquia's social organizations asked the Colombian government for immediate and efficient measures to protect their leaders and the lives of the 2016 Peace Agreement signatories.
They also requested the international community, the Congress peace commission, and the mainstream media to pressure the Duque administration to implement efficient actions aimed at defending peace.
