The blood and terror that have traveled to the department of Cauca, in southwestern Colombia, during the last week recalls the history of violence that seems to have been raging against this territory since the armed conflict broke out in the country.

Two days later, the murder of four people who were surveying in Corinth and, in a different event, the discovery of a corpse in the Huasanó district was known. Then, the National Protection Unit said Saturday that an escort was killed by alleged FARC dissidents. And this Sunday an indigenous communer and human rights defender was killed in the department.

Democrats have launched a new critical phase of their political trial investigation by publishing the first transcripts of witness statements while seeking to build a public case in which President Donald Trump abused his power in a foreign policy operation in Ukraine . Three commissions investigating the scandal published transcripts and summaries of closed-door interviews with the former US ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch and Michael McKinley, former chief advisor to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Signs that the disclosure of the testimony was imminent led Trump to issue a torrent of personal attacks against the president of the House of Representatives Intelligence Commission, Adam Schiff.
