DOZENS of former guerilla fighters and their families were forced to abandon their village in southern Colombia on Tuesday.
This came after they received threats from members of a rebel group that is still fighting the government, authorities said.
The displaced former fighters were members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, the guerilla group that signed a peace deal with Colombia’s government in 2016.
