Memoirs of the Dispossessed: notes and reflections on the facts described in Order 01 of 2022 ADHC Dabeiba case 03 and 04 of the JEP

Abstract

The armed conflict in Colombia is a current issue; its echoes have permeated all social spheres of the country and increased inequality, leaving many at the mercy of their misery. There is still much to be said about the conflict, even after the Truth Commission drafted an 800-page report containing thousands of testimonies from victims of the bloodlust and lust for power that—as always—preys on the weakest: the dispossessed. These testimonies include the voices of innocent people who were victims of the horror, among them farmers, women, young people, and children who, without knowing why, ended up caught in a war that was not theirs. However, in July 2022, a legal document was published that identified other people who were also victims of the conflict, people who are rarely spoken of and who also belong to this vulnerable group in society: the homeless.
