Colombian Drug War

The Colombian Drug War refers to the ongoing conflict involving drug cartels, government forces, and insurgent groups like FARC. Starting in the late 20th century, Colombia became a major producer of cocaine, leading to violence, corruption, and social instability. The government has partnered with the U.S. in efforts to combat drug trafficking through military aid and anti-drug policies. While some progress has been made, violence persists, affecting communities and creating humanitarian challenges. It highlights the complexity of drug addiction, law enforcement, and social issues in both Colombia and the broader international context.
