Discuss the role of militias in Colombia in relation to drug trafficking and traffickers

What will be an ideal response?


Militias often have symbiotic relationships with drug trafficking organizations. For example, Marxist guerilla forces of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) protect the crops and levy taxes on the drug business.
Paramilitaries are sometimes allied with—sometimes fighting against—the drug traffickers and receive financial backing from wealthy landowners.
