the stakes not about drugs per se, but about the ability of ordinary colombians to live without fear. we land in the jungle outpost of miraflores in the southern province in the amazonian forest reserve. the heavy presence of army and special police is a result of its strategic location and recent history as a one-time center of coca production. farmers here would grow the stuff and make leaves into past. traffickers would come and buy it. the farc had this area under its sphere of influence for years. nine years ago, the government moved to expel the farc, the traffickers and any paramilitaries, with apparently much success.
overnight, however, its population shrank by 85%. and what remains struggles to survive. so, the people here, you re telling me, either were born here yeah. or? most of the people came from elsewhere. in the beginning in the 1950s and 60s they were they were escaping from the violence, from the political violence between the two parties in colombia. so, if you were having problems in the city or wherever you were from, you came out here? yeah. so what did you do for a living out here? cattle and some agriculture, and after that the drug trade began and everything with the coca plantations. the climate is good for it? yeah, very good. since 1999, there were no police or army force here, so it was just occupied by the farc.
