contributed to the indifference of society and the state on the differential impacts that the conflict has had on our lives.  A model of extractive and exclusionary economic development has been at the root of the causes of the conflict and its consequences: before the armed conflict impacted our communities, the economic actors supported by the government encouraged the extraction of natural resources Regardless of the living conditions of our communities. This continuous dynamic has increased the vulnerability of communities being the reason why the conflict deepened the situation of exclusion.  The failure to effectively implement differential approaches, both before and during the humanitarian crisis caused by the Colombian armed conflict, has led to the profound deterioration of the Afro-Colombian communities that are victims of the conflict.
