Resistance Communities in Choco

In Cacarica River Basin over four thousand people were brutally displaced in 1997. A military and paramilitary action called "Operation Genesis" deployed for a week with bombings, burning of houses and killing, resulted in a massive displacement that have not ended totally but has been resisted by Afro-descendant communities who fought for their land in the highly biodiverse forests of the Lower Atrato in Chocó. This is a history of resistance that includes the life of the communities that put together the humanitarian areas New Life and New Hope within CAVIDA (Communities of Self-Determination, Life and Dignity of the Cacarica).
