WEDNESDAY, 21 OCTOBER 2009

The FARC (the guerrilla Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) has relaunched its attack on the Cauca police station with the intent to gain control over the area. The armed conflict started at around 10pm Tuesday night and continued until around 4.00 am Wednesday morning.
The situation is so severe in some parts of Cauca that 45 per cent of Cauca residents are at some level of risk of having to flee.

Army units, supported by the Air Force, are hunting down the rebels responsible for the harassment. The police, meanwhile, are conducting patrols in the downtown area to ensure safety.
