Abstract
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 to face
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.
