Displaced People
Description

The left wing rebel group known as FARC has been fighting government forces in Colombia for decades. But in this conflict, it's often ordinary civilians who suffer the most. Josefina (not her real name) says that seven years ago, life was good in her small village in western Colombia. The store she ran brought in a little cash, and there were always three meals a day.
