Citat:
Medellín was once known as the most violent city in the world. This terrible title was the result of an urban war set off by the drug cartels at the end of the 1980’s. As the home of the Medellín Cartel, headed by the drug lord Pablo Escobar, the city was the victim of the terror caused by the war between this organization and its enemies. However, after the death of Escobar, the crime rates in the city began to decrease. Throughout the 1990’s the crime rates remained relatively high, although gradually declining from the worst years. In October 2002 the Colombian president, Álvaro Uribe, ordered the military to complete “Operation Orion,” whose objective was to disband the urban militias of the FARC and the AUC. Between 2003 and 2006 the demobilization of the remaining urban militias of the AUC was completed, with more than 3,000 armed men giving up their weapons. The crime rate in Medellín has been significantly reduced. At this date, the crime rate in Medellín is relatively normal for a large city in Latin America.
A koliko vidim u članku, radi se o gradu od 2,5 miliona ljudi, znači nije neka vuko***ina u džungli oko koje se vrzmaju naoružani gerilci i pucaju na sve što se mrda.
