Crónica de una desaparición forzada: Este mundo es muy chiquito.

Fernando -the protagonist of this story- was born in Tarazá, Antioquia, Colombia, and would be 40 years old at the time this paper is written. His hard childhood, which took place surrounded by poverty, marginality and violence, traced the lines of a hard fate to elude. He became an orphan at a very early age and was displaced from his homeland due to violence and at the end he became a victim of forced recruitment as a soldier for an illegal group and, later, a victim of forced disappearance. His youth, inexperience and lack of skills toface armed conflict would lead him to step on a landmine, and his family could never recover his body, which ended up in a mass grave. Fernando, who is a relative of mine, was the inspiration to make this reflection about the violations to human rights made within the Colombian armed conflict at the end of the 80's and the first years of the 90's.
