I just came across this podcast in the last week after wondering what ever happened to the FARC and AUC (right wing death squads) after the peace deal. How did things end up playing out relative compared to what was expected and feared at the time.
It’s a pretty batshit story that focuses on what became of the right wing death squads (they run the start of the cocaine supply chain it turns out among many other things) that’s extremely well researched and has amazing access. A strong recommendation from me https://insightcrime.org/audio-from-the-ground-up/the-shadow-of-el-dorado-podcast/ https://insightcrime.org/audio-from-the-ground-up/the-shadow...

- jrflowers 1y agoWhat is a counter-death squad? A ragtag band of obstetricians? Unless there’s a type of killing that doesn’t involve death, looks like the AUC was a far right wing death squad. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mapirip%C3%A1n_massacre https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mapirip%C3%A1n_massacre
