 Comuna 13: Colombia's Urban Battleground
Comuna 13 was until recently firmly under the control of a pragmatic coalition of three insurgent guerrilla groups—the FARC, the National Liberation Army (ELN), and the Medellín-based People's Armed Commandos (CAP).
Comuna 13 was attacked again precisely because the paramilitaries have not been able to gain control of it on their own, so to speak, since the May 21 massacre.
Eighty percent of Comuna 13 is now under the direct control of 1,500 army troops, who have continued to conduct house-to-house searches, rounding up suspects while accompanied by informants dressed in ski masks and fatigues.

In Comuna 13, the third generation of milicianos was composed of young people from the neighborhoods, the occasional university students, and a handful of second-generation veterans that survived Medellín's wars of the 1990s.
In Comuna 13, people have built their roads, schools, health clinics, senior citizens' centers and youth centers with their own hands and funds, and they have fought for proper sewage, drinking water and electricity.
Now that Comuna 13 is under control of "dissident" paramilitaries of the Bloque Metro and those of Cacique Nutibarra, which have moved toward unity, a highway to Urabá, to be financed in part with North American capital, will cut a secondary road through its heart.
