Colombia delays coca fumigation pilot pending community consultations
La Silla VacíaLO·CO·2 days ago
A court in Mocoa, Colombia, ordered the government to halt its planned coca spraying pilot until legal requirements are met. The ruling blocks a key element of the government's anti-narcotics strategy, which had already faced political and environmental opposition. The suspension signals continued judicial constraints on eradication efforts and may affect coca cultivation trends and related security dynamics.
