A month after the earthquake that hit Colombia, the country faces a long process of recovery and reconstruction. The tragedy left deep scars on infrastructure and affected communities, forcing authorities to draw up reconstruction plans.
Beyond humanitarian challenges, other concerns are emerging on the horizon. The increase in violence perpetrated by criminal organizations has worried Colombian authorities, who see this threat growing in the post-disaster context.
Clashes between illegal armed groups and military forces have also intensified during this period. This escalation of violence further complicates the country's recovery efforts, diverting resources and attention from humanitarian aid operations.
The combination of these factors makes Colombian reconstruction a complex process, where the government must balance immediate humanitarian response with security strategies to contain violence that threatens to further destabilize the affected regions.
