Rosa Amalia Mendoza Trujillo, or Karen Palmera, as she was known in the ranks of the Farc, it is known that she was one of the founders of the Association of Agrarian and Environmental Housing of the South of Bolívar, since last year she was living in the area poor connectivity.
“What has been established is that confrontations between dissidents of the Farc and the Eln have been registered for several days. In the last of these events, they say, this tragic balance was registered. The area is difficult to access and they have clamored for the support of the National Government. “Among the victims is the ex-combatant of the Fac, Rosa Mendoza,” the peasants of the South of Bolívar and Bajo Cauca point out in their Twitter account.
According to the Institute for Peace and Development Studies —Indepaz—, there are already 249 signers of the peace agreement murdered.
