Answer 1

It is a MAFIA against another MAFIA.

Answer 2

America is behind it all.

Answer 3

I heard that in Colombia, the number of violent murders was only 15% due to the FARCs, while there was as much as 50% due to the extreme right paramilitary.

But maybe this information is not public in the US ...

Anyway, the roots of the problem can be found in the Monroe doctrine. Finally it's a kind of colonialism, but rather different from Europe's traditional forms of colonialism.

If there was no coca in this country, and if there wasn't a big oil producing neighbour (Venezuela), many colombians would live much better I guess ...
