Tierra, palma africana y conflicto armado en el Bajo Atrato chocoano, Colombia. Una lectura desde el cambio en los órdenes de extracción

Abstract: Since the 1990s, the Colombian Pacific region has experienced a process of intensification of the internal armed conflict. Some studies have described this as an unintended consequence of the legal recognition by the state of black inhabitants of the region as ethnic groups with rights to the lands in their territory. This document explores the relationship between this change in the structure of land ownership and the dynamics of the armed conflict in the region (1985-2005), focusing on the Bajo Atrato region… Show more

“…As Grajales (2011) explains, oil palm seemed an attractive activity for paramilitaries, because it offered direct profits from cultivation, greater state support in the form of subsidies, and possibilities for money laundering.

In addition, paramilitary groups engaged in systematic forced displacement of the local population with the purpose of acquiring lands for cultivation.…”

“…En particular, la continuación de las economías extractivas alrededor de la madera y el oro y la llegada de grupos paramilitares a la región 12 dificultarían las titulación de tierras comunitarias. Con la nueva regulación sobre la tierra, la cantidad de territorio inalienable con uso forestal en el litoral pacífico aumentó del 73% al 94%, siendo las comunidades negras las nuevas dueñas de la mayoría (García, 2014 (2015), la titulación tiene factores comunitarios como el capital político y la organización de la comunidad para lograr la titulación, esto depende de factores socioeconómicos previos a la titulación.…”

“…De igual forma, la actividad económica de la región se concentró en la extracción de recursos naturales que no tenían retornos a las regiones de explotación, pero sí a las ciudades capitales en la parte alta del litoral. Esta particularidad de la explotación es un esquema heredado del mercado del oro de la colonia y que se ve hoy en otros productos como la madera (Leal y Restrepo, 2003) y la palma (García, 2014).…”
