LACK OF PROPER
TREATMENT HAS
FORCED FORMER

while recovering from
COVID-19 at the La
Guajira reintegration
camp, one of 24 built
to help former fighters
with the Revolutionary
Armed Forces of
Colombia return to
society. Since the
militants signed a
peace deal with the
government in 2016,
former rebels such
as Hernández have
reunited with their
families at these sites.
Fewer than 50 resi-
dents of the La Guajira
camp were diagnosed
with COVID-19, a num-
ber possibly kept low
because of their rela-
tive isolation from the
outside population.MAY 16 FORMER REBELS FIGHT A NEW BATTLE
