Plan Colombia: uncivilization, genocide, ethnocide and afrocolombian exile

Abstract

This article analyzes Plan Colombia, as a transnational design of the neocolonial war that began in the XXI Century, which has taken place in the Andean Region, by the United States and Colombia. The article interprets Plan Colombia as an uncivilizing process, a producer of genocide and ethnocide against Afro-Colombians, indigenous peoples and peasants. Consequently, the article proposes that the State and the international community both acknowledge and compensate those communities for the destruction of their cultures.
