The Institute of Studies for Development and Peace (Indepaz) this Monday denounced the murder of Domingo Mancilla Cundumi, a signatory of the peace agreement, the tenth in 2022 and the 309th since the document was signed in 2016.
Mancilla Cundumi, 37, was attacked with a gun on Sunday evening in the village of Temuey in the Bonanza sector of the municipality of Guapi in the department of Cauca. He died from the gunfire at Guapi Hospital, where he was taken due to the seriousness of his injuries.
The victim carried out his reintegration process at the Territorial Spaces for Training and Reincorporation (ECTR) Aldemar. He is also a member of the Association of Balsiteños for Peace (Asobalsitas), Indepaz said in a message published on his social network account Twitter.
The Comunes party also denounced the killing by posting it on its official Twitter account. “Yesterday, ‘Balsita’, Domingo Mancilla, a colleague in the process of reintegration who belonged to an association of Balsiteños, was murdered in Guapi #Cauca. A case that adds to the painful figure of over 300, while (President) Iván Duque denies the systematic nature of these events.
