From August 30th to September 3rd, accompanied by FORPP, Witness for Peace and CONPAZCOL, the biodiverse and multicultural territory of Palestina, Huila held a 5-day ceremony as part of the International Day of Disappeared People. The ceremony commemorated the fifty people who have been disappeared due to the Colombian armed conflict, taking place in the House of Memories, a space designed specifically for dialogue and reconciliation due to conflict and war. The event was led by the La Esperanza Biodiversity Zone of the CONPAZCOL Association, and included youth music groups such as the Buenas Rolas del Sur del Huila, a group made up of local musicians from the region, the Hasta Buscalos Foundation, a strategic ally of CONPAZCOL in the search for missing people, the Arrayanes environmental collective of Oporapa Huila, composed of students and professors from the Palestinian and Luis Onofre Acosta educational institutions. Also participating was the Unit for Victims, the National Center for Historical Memory CNMH, the Municipal Ombudsman, the TOAR Table of the Department and the peace signatories of the South Block.
From Palestina, Huila, we embrace each and every person who continues to search for their lost ones and, in the living and present memory of our missing people, we reiterate the important role that the House of Memories, the Biodiversity Zone and the CONPAZCOL territories play in supporting dialogue essential for the Comprehensive Peace and fostering reconciliation with nature.
