DETERRITORIALIZATION OF AFRO-COLOMBIAN AND INDIGENOUS POPULATIONS AS A REFERENCE OF THE ARMED CONFLICT: AN APPROACH FROM CHOCÓ IN THE COLOMBIAN PACIFIC IN THE POST-AGREEMENT STAGE (2016-2023)

Abstract

Afro-Colombian and indigenous populations in the Pacific, especially in the department of Chocó, find themselves without tacit sov-ereignty social identities due to the armed conflict, which, along with other factors, has put the extinction of various ancestral groups at risk, affecting their wealth, cultural, environmental, and ethnic. The biogeographical, climatic, and cultural characteristics make differentiate the Pacific region from the whole of Colombian society; it is an area surrounded throughout its territory by indigenous reservations and ancestral black territories. In the context of the armed conflict, this particularity significantly affects ethnic communi-ties with a close relationship with nature since rivers and the sea, for example, especially connect their territories. Therefore, regard-ing human rights, the article aims to counter-hegemonically make said situation visible, to identify the deterritorialization suffered by various ethnic groups displaced by the armed conflict despite the Peace Agreements in Havana.
