An ambulance funded by local communities and the FARC dissident armed rebel faction Central General Staff (EMC) is delivered in the village of San Juan del Micay, in Micay Canyon, a mountainous area and EMC stronghold in Cauca Department, southwestern Colombia, on March 24, 2024, where a health centre (L) - also jointly funded - was inaugurated. Bright green coca plantations blanket the mountainsides of the narrow Micay Canyon, the heartland of Colombia's holdout guerrillas, who rule their fiefdom like a mini-state. Along dirt roads, in makeshift laboratories, farmers openly mix coca leaf with gasoline to extract a paste used to make the pure cocaine that is one of Colombia's top exports. Micay Canyon is a major source of tension in negotiations between the government and the Central General Staff (EMC) rebels who broke away from the FARC when it signed a 2016 peace deal.
