| | Colombia: San Vicente del Caguán after the breakdown of the peace talks: A community abandoned. - Amnesty International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | The DMZ consisted of five municipalities - La Macarena, Mesetas, Uribe and Vista Hermosa, in the Department of Meta, and San Vicente del Caguán, in the Department of Caquetá - an area of 42,000 square kilometres, roughly the size of Switzerland, with a population of some 100,000. |
 | | Their real fear is that the armed forces, with the help of the paramilitaries, are seeking their revenge for this coexistence, and that the guerrilla are doing likewise to ensure that the civilian population is not tempted to collaborate with its enemies. |
 | | Meta, where four of the five municipalities of the former DMZ are located, has been particularly hard hit, accounting for almost a quarter of the territory that, at the time of writing, was without any civilian authorities. |
