Dismemberment and Displacement in Buenaventura (Full Length)

[@VICENews]

VICE News traveled to Buenaventura to meet with security forces, government officials, crime reporters, gang members, and victims, to try to understand why this city on Colombia's Pacific coast has became so violent, and what's being done about it. Read "FARC Guerrillas Announce Ceasefire with Colombian Government After 50 Years of Civil War" - bit.ly/1wPOebw

[@sunkiss1717]

And just today it is reported that a bishop in Colombia plans to perform a mass exorcism on the entire city. Godspeed! 🙏

[@sergiogranadamoreno]

16:16, 16:36 They are talking about paramilitary forces, not just "gangs", so yeah Vice, watch your translation.. is not the same thing.

[@free2mention]

Paramility that control.the gangs and pay.them

[@lilman42590]

Once again, wonderful , true journalists are a rarity these days. Vice is full of them . You go farther, dig deeper, and present the story of people . you rarely take sides and allow evil to condemn itself . Thank you once again. a fan since vice guide to Karachi and the Montreal magazine

[@fearfatch]

Wow the "Vice Guide to..." seems so long ago now, I guess it was. I actually remember a really long time ago a guy from Vice magazine was a judge for an episode of "Kenny vs Spenny", think this is how I first heard.

[@lilman42590]

I think it was 2010

[@1533TodaVida]

My cousin in Cali, Colombia he was a police spotter I heard for Los Rastrojos gang during drug deals, he was brutally murdered he was spotted by other Rival gang members near a side walk connected to the woods at night where he was shot 15 times in the head, and his ankle was half way almost chopped off while the bone half way cut off was hanging off a thread of Flesh of his leg. He was only 17 too, just 3 months after his 17 birthday. RIP Carlos Sanchez Fernandez.🥀🕊

[@MsAstariKson]

Can they send Pompilio Castillo to me, I want to save him. lol All jokes aside, it's so heartbreaking to see them living like that. They still have hope as long as they have people like the Castillo family. People can't wait for the government to fix it, we have to do it ourselves. To the ignorant people in the comments, kick rocks. You are apart of the problem and not the solution. They only thing your comments show is how little you think of yourselves. If there wasn't something truly great about black people, society wouldn't go to such great lengths to keep us down. To the young black people, you are beautiful, brilliant and capable of changing your world. Use the shoulders of these haters as steps to get to the top. One Love

[@marvinlanezsubs5010]

Grace respect straight there from Buenaventura, appreciate every word you wished us.

[@rastamon5403]

[@elguerokabron]

[@leviscuddler5479]

........ Don’t tell me that was a part of the body I just saw.... in the start..

[@stortroopers]

You can tell the guy narrating/going through the entire thing is South American himself due to the way he pronounces the nmes of the cities and parts of the cities. As a south American, I love hearing Spanish names being pronounced correctly.

[@TheWWEChamp]

Didnt know that VICE Was here in my town. Great story coverage. Even the national news havnt done this kind of news report. Is all clear there, For those who wants to know about the situation in this town. We need a lot of support from private companies in and out of the conuntry. for educate the kids and make them better human beings. most of The kids here grow up thinking that "Killing and Chopping" is a better way to succeed that go to college and get a job. and thats really sad. If someone, Anyone who read this can support with some studying material, Scolarships, some things that help our kids and our culture to change and grown up. Because thats our future, Our kids. So, if anyone just can read this and support this cause, that will be really aprecciated. Sorry for the bad grammar.

Men this is the result of the opression of the colombian government, im from medellin, but its not new that the withe people who have the real business in choco, gets and steal all the resources of this land, very sad.

[@RejectedGlobe]

How is that oppression by the government? It's the opposite as they can't guarantee protection to its citizens. It's oppression by the gang members and ignorant people like you don't help to alleviate the issue

[@MrAlen6e]

***** youre an idiot

[@saeta]

Your vision is so naive; yes, theres a lot of corruption from whites in colombian, but there are also a lot of corruption from blacks folks

[@RejectedGlobe]

That red polo hat though >>>>

[@thekiller678]

Holy shit this is creepy as hell.

[@waltataylo1655]

[@s0nnyburnett]

Concerned about imitating gangs, playing war. Gambling game in the background. Nice one. Soon the military they asked to protect them will be kicking them out of their homes to build the boardwalk.

[@jamesmontano348]

[@thatoneminer2076]

[@geediosman6415]

[@stortroopers]

This shit happens every day in Honduras, yet Vice hasn't made a documentary about San Pedro Sula or any part of my country. World's highest homicide rate, anyone?

[@agapepowell77777]

Actually they have, & i find them to be very disturbing but also interesting. May god bless your country and all that are still living there. Trump needs to get his daffy duck lookin ass over there and help yall

[@wrarmatei]

The Columbian state will always be fighting an uphill battle against this kind of unrest if nothing is being done to improve the lives of the poor there. One of the things that makes poverty so ugly is that it encourages the development of economies that are centered on: drugs, prostitution, child-labor, maquiladoras, or otherwise dangerous work, which is generally applies to societies with large numbers of people whose socio-economic rights* are not being met. It's bullshit how so many states respond to the problems of poverty with militarism primarily because in my opinion, it is indicative of the view that poverty and its numerous problems are beyond the control of the state. Obviously, the global economic system is a big culprit in much of this, but regardless countries, like Columbia and Brazil have wealthy political elites and corporations that have the money to help. The boring truth is that until problems like illicit financial flows** and international resource/borrowing privileges*** get addressed, many societies will remain very unstable and poor. * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic,_social_and_cultural_rights#International_human_rights_instruments ** www.gfintegrity.org/issue/illicit-financial-flows/ *** academicsstand.org/projects/institutional-reform-goals/the-goals/international-resource-and-borrowing-privileges/

[@Animeman36]

As a Mexican, I find it very weird to see so many black people that can speak better Spanish than I.

[@iBOXRIVER]

Idiot

[@raquelpineros5745]

Clearly u didn't really know about Colombia's ethnicities

[@lamicooperdiallo1876]

wow you just showed how ignorant and plain stupid you are. Forget Colombia even, I guess you don't know that there are Black people in Mexico Professor Dumb ARSE! SMDH They just won their battle against the government to be recognized on the national census. You don't even know YOUR MEXICAN history, the 2nd President of Mexico Vicente Guerrero was half Black. IT IS 2016 learn something before you open your silly mouth!

[@jakethunderbird8735]

Mexico has like a 2 percent black population but everything below Mexico has alot of blacks. Mostly in the Caribbean countries and South America

[@Ghostintheshell3551]

[@MrAlen6e]

***** I'm sorry is just this guy make me so mad, because of guys like him, the goverment couldnt give 3 fuck's about the people, seems they dont exist why caring about them

[@MrAlen6e]

alfiya969 the reason you dont is because most south Americans abroad are actually middel or rich class people who can affort a pasport and visa cost, the sad true is most Afrocolombians are poor and lack opportunities

[@DynamicSphinx]

alfiya969 There's nothing wrong with you not seeing Spanish-speaking blacks everyday. However, that is not what you said in your original comment. You originally implied you were surprised to see black people speak Spanish, as if they're a rare breed. In reality, Spanish is one of the more common languages spoken by black populations in other parts of ther world. Other common languages spoken by international black people include French. Arabic, Italian, and Dutch.

[@Terppppppppppppp]
