Colombia: 'Pentagon drawn with lead' as violence spreads

Colombian columnist Ana Cristina Restrepo describes escalating armed violence across Colombia, framing it as a 'pentagon drawn with lead'—a reference to the US Pentagon's influence and the militarization of the country. The piece suggests a significant deterioration in security, with multiple fronts of conflict, though specific incidents are not detailed. This matters as it signals a potential expansion of conflict zones and a challenge to state control.
