Eight years after the 2016 peace agreement in Colombia between government forces and guerrillas that was meant to end a half-century of conflict, around 5 million Colombians remain internally displaced and a growing number of people live in areas controlled by armed groups. The ongoing violence in the country has pushed many to flee, often by going through the treacherous Darién Gap between Colombia and neighboring Panama. For more on the security situation in Colombia and the state of the peace process, we speak with Jan Egeland, secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council, and Dr. Manuel Rozental, a Colombian physician and activist who is part of the group Pueblos en Camino, or People on the Path.
