Maroon, a municipality that does not exceed 35,000 inhabitants, is within the route of the drug commercialization of armed groups that dispute territories in this area of northern Cauca.
These disputes are related to the most recent attack for which aliases Cejas and aliases David or Cholinga, of the ‘Dagoberto Ramos’ dissidence, were identified.
According to the Government, they were behind the explosion of a car bomb, which shook Carrera 9 towards the main park of Corinto, and left 43 injured, of which, 11 are officials of the Mayor’s Office of this town. The report was delivered by Defense Minister Diego Molano.
A reward of up to 200 million pesos was offered to capture the perpetrators.
President Iván Duque arrived this Saturday in Cauca to analyze the situation of the attack.
“We accompany the compatriots affected by the cowardly attack by narco-terrorists in Corinto. We reinforce measures and go after those criminals “said the Head of State.
“We will continue to confront and persecute terrorism wherever it is. There is a clear instruction that I have given to the military leadership and also to the Minister of Defense to make a presence in the department of Cauca, assess each of the facts and, in addition, we go after the material and intellectual authors of this execrable threat against the Corinto community, in the department of Cauca, ”he said.
Corinto is a town where since 2019 there had not been an attack with an explosion, such as the one that occurred this Friday, March 26, in front of the Mayor’s Office and in broad daylight.
“El Cauca cries, but does not give up. Corinto cries, but does not give up,” said Minister Molano. He said that they are disputes over criminal income and drug trafficking that the dissident ‘Dagoberto Ramos’ maintains with the Eln. “It is an insane, terrorist act,” said the senior official of the National Government.

Noted that there are eight special platoons with more than 280 men of the Public Force to capture the perpetrators of the act.
He explained that of the 43 affected there are 20 with minor injuries, another 17 were admitted to hospitals due to stunning; six more are critical, two of whom were transferred to Cali, in neighboring Valle del Cauca. The other four are in Santander de Quilichao, in northern Cauca.
Noted that there are eight houses with material damage.
Of the 43 affected, 20 have minor injuries, another 17 from stunning; six more are critical, two of which were transferred to Cali
Corinto has become, according to the authorities, a municipality as a checkpoint on the route for the commercialization of drugs and weapons in the southwestern part of the country.
Minister Molano noted that there is “More than 12 captures in that structure. Neutralization of 25 members of its drug trafficking structures. Additionally, the neutralization of 2 of them in military operations, and 2 high-value targets neutralized and captured, such as alias Canoso and alias Amansador, one of the first leaders of this organized armed organization ”.
Thus, from Pasto, this drug route continues its ascent by the Panamericana and trails to the north of Cauca, specifically, passing through Corinto so that the hallucinogens take direction towards Jamundí (Valle), where there were two massacres last year: one that left five people dead in January 2020 and the other, with four victims, in September of that time, all with coup de grace.

But the surprising thing is that Corinth had not returned to be violently agitated with attacks.
However, hours before this car bomb on March 26, there was harassment in the rural areas of Caloto, Caldono and Algeria.
Terrorism is the coward’s weapon. Given the events that occurred in Corinto, Cauca, I have given very clear instructions to the military leadership and to the @mindefense to go after the culprits immediately. We continue to fight terrorism relentlessly, wherever it is found.
