Cocaine Inc.

Chapters

Colombia's history of conflict, marked by inequality and a lack of government presence in rural areas, has created fertile ground for both communist groups and cocaine cartels. The absence of land reform and economic opportunities has made it easy for cartels to exploit farmers and control these regions.
  • Conflict in Colombia has been ongoing since 1964.
  • Inequality and lack of government presence in rural areas have fueled the cocaine trade.
  • Cartels exploit farmers by offering them an alternative to traditional crops.
