Colombia’s government announced on Thursday that it is going to combat drug traffickers and increase the eradication of coca cultivation in the northwestern border region of Catatumbo.
Interior Minister Juan Fernando Cristo announced the planned action on Thursday after visiting rural areas within the province of Norte de Santander, that borders with Venezuela.
According to the United Nations Office Against Drugs and Crime, Catatumbo’s coca cultivation expanded by 6,200 hectares between 2013 and 2014.
....According to El Tiempo newspaper, the minister also acknowledged that Catatumbo suffers from such levels of cultivation due to it’s geographical border location with Venezuela, which allows a high flow of people informally entering and exiting the country, making drug trafficking difficult to control.
