YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFor over 50 years, Colombia has been ravaged by a brutal civil war – involving communist guerrillas, right-wing death squads and the Colombian state all fighting a messy and violent struggle for control of the country.
And this decades-long conflict has largely been financed by Colombia’s multi-billion dollar cocaine economy.
This is how half a century of aggressive drug prohibition – and the booming global cocaine market – have prolonged and worsened Colombia’s bloody civil war.
