How Much

Of the violence in Colombia is committed by certain factions, namely the guerrillas, the paramilitaries, and the state? I remember seeing some statistics cited by a comrade a while back but I can't find them.

Nobody knows?

anybody care to translate the factions names in that link?
I can tell from certains words that the paramilitaries seemed to do the most or second most damage.

Guerrilla and paramilitares are obvious. My english (nor my spanish) is not perfect but I'll try.:rolleyes:

-Agentes del Estado = State agent (police and army I guess)
-Casos con presuntos autores identifcados = Cases of presumably identified groups
-Uno de los Grupos Anteriores sin Identificar = One of the previous groups not identified
-Victimas muertas (total/subtotal) = Victims of death
-Autores sin Identificar = Not identified groups

Well shit, what a surprise, the paramilitaries are really going chaotic.
