Stuck on the sidings

In 2016 the columbian president Manuel Santos received the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts around the peace agreement with the FARC guerrilla. In 2018 the new president Iván Duque is doing nothing to fulfill the contract. The former guerrillas who are spending their lives in the 26 demobilization zones, far from civilisation, have no perspective to build a new life in peace. Missing financial resources and knowhow damn them to use their days waiting for better times. Pictures were taken in „El Oso“ und „Iconozco“.
