The Victims Unit participated in the installation of the Reincorporation Table in Risaralda

This is the first initiative of its kind in the Eje Cafetero and among its purposes stands out the articulated work for cultural transformation with a view to reconciliation and coexistence. In this region there are currently around 690 FARC ex-combatants.

The Agency for Reincorporation and Normalization (ARN) and the Government of Risaralda, through the Directorate of Peace, Post-conflict and Support for Vulnerable Groups, carried out the installation of Reincorporation Table in the department of Risaralda, a space that accompanied the Victims Unit and that seeks to promote socioeconomic reincorporation for the victim and reincorporated population who are in the department.

The event, which was led by the governor of Risaralda, Víctor Manuel Tamayo Vargas, and by the territorial director of the ARN in Eje Cafetero, Carlos Soto, also participated Emilio José Archila, presidential adviser for Stabilization and Consolidation, Nelson Darío Velandia, Program Director of the Agency for Reconciliation and Normalization, Carlos Ruiz, head of the United Nations Verification Mission in Colombia, Félix Antonio Muñoz (Pastor Alape) of the FARC party, and Laura Moreno Mejía, territorial director of the Victims Unit among others.

“The Week for Peace is an initiative that was born in 1987 as a peace program of the Jesuits, in response to the situations of violence that marked the 1980s. We must say that Risaralda development plan included the program of Peace and Post-conflict, whose objective is to establish a culture of peace and reconciliation in the department that guarantees the fulfillment of the rights of victims, ex-combatants and their families, makes possible social inclusion and stabilization in the territory”, said Governor Tamayo Vargas.

For his part, Emilio Archila, presidential advisor for Stabilization and Consolidation, assured that “this is a process that we should have faced many years ago, with clear work fronts such as political will and its expression, not only by word but by starting from all the demonstration that the government of President Iván Duque has made visible. “This is something materialized in the National Development Plan, support for ex-combatants that has been palpable as long as they follow the route of reincorporation, and those details, objectives and clarities they are set out in a roadmap with allocation of resources”, he added.

This is the first Table of this type to be installed in Eje Cafetero, and another of its primary objectives is to work jointly for cultural transformation with a view to reconciliation and coexistence. In this region there are currently around 690 FARC ex-combatants.

The territorial director of the Victims Unit, Laura Moreno, made the entire work team of the entity available to consolidate these spaces that victims and former combatants need so much to settle differences and “work for the common good of exercising their citizenship without any type of actions that go against their primary rights”.
