                                                <p>February 25, 2022</p><p>On Friday, the 
Indigenous Organization of Antioquia (OIA) denounced the murder of 
Dilson Borja Domico in his home in Turbo town, in the Antioquia 
department.</p>

</blockquote> 
<p>The OIA demanded justice, investigations and convictions. For its 
part, the Major Government Council expressed its solidarity with his 
family and friends.</p>                                                   
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                <p>Currently, the 
communities of Apartado, Carepa, Chigorodo and Turbo are at high risk of
 violence. Due to this situation, the Ombudsman's Office issued an early
 warning for these municipalities.   </p>                                                       
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                <p>The Institute for 
Development and Peace Studies (INDEPAZ) stated that the Turbo 
municipality has the highest concentration of drug-related problems as 
its territory is home to several drug trafficking corridors bound for 
Central America.</p>                                                      
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                 
<p>Antoquia authorities disclosed that armed groups such as the 
Colombian Gaitanistas Self-Defenses (AGC) regularly operate in their 
territory. The OIA demanded that these illegal groups respect the lives 
of Indigenous men and women.</p>                                                  
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                <p>They also called on 
international organizations working in Colombia to provide special 
accompaniment for the Indigenous communities of Antioquia.</p>                                                    
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                <p>According to INDEPAZ,
 1,313 Indigenous leaders have been killed since the signing of the 2016
 Peace Agreement. So far this year, 32 social leaders have been 
assassinated.</p>
