In Colombia, an insurgency-counterinsurgency war has left over 200,000 people dead since 1964 and displaced over four million others from their homes. CPT's Colombia delegations will meet with church, human rights and social justice organizers in Bogotá and in Barrancabermeja, the industrial city in the Magdalena Medio region where CPT's full-time team is based. Delegates will also spend several days visiting one or more rural communities struggling for justice, peace and sustainable life on the land. The specific focus of this delegation will be announced later.
