Children of the FARC: Baby Boom in Colombia’s Jungles l Witness

After more than half a century of fighting against the Colombian state, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) laid down its arms to become a political party after a peace deal was signed in 2016.

With the prospect of long-term peace, FARC is finally allowing its remaining 7,000 fighters to have children.

Both Diana and Yorly joined FARC as teenagers and will soon leave it as mothers. But as they prepare to welcome children into a new Colombia, their comrades are still being killed by paramilitaries.
