Colombian Civil War

AD – MPE: 0.02

ND – MPE: 0.16

The Wikipedia-article called “Colombian Conflict” cites an in-depth study, which estimates that 0.18 million civilians died in the Colombian Civil War from 1958 to 2013. Rightist paramilitaries killed most of the victims. They were supported by the Colombian state and US corporations.

The United States supported the Colombian government with money, weapons, training and intelligence. The support by the US government and US corporations was highly significant. I blame them for 6 to 16 percent of the people killed by the Colombian government and rightist paramilitaries.

Plausible estimates for the number of people killed by nondemocratic forces range from 0.1 to 0.2 million. 0.16 million is the most plausible estimate. The most plausible estimate for the number of civilians killed by the US is 0.02 million.
