She told me that when the peace deal was signed in 2016, there was actually a bit of peace and stability in her community.
But that was shattered in 2019 when a massacre was carried out against her community by some of these gunmen who were jostling for control of the region.

The global market for cocaine only continues to grow.
And the price of gold is way up on where it was 10 years ago.

the drug trade in the areas that they operated in.
What we've seen now is the FARC left and the area became more fragmented between dissident groups that didn't go along with the FARC deal and other organizations that were never part of the FARC.
They're all scrambling for control in these regions.
