Footnote: Following the murders of Efrén and Dilio Bailarín, PBI accompanied the emergency entry of JyP to the communities of Acandí and Alto Guayabal.The accompaniment provided protection and visibility to the communities, as they continued to receive threats in order to silence what had happened. Both Resguardos are under strong control by the AGC, which, as the Human Rights Ombudsman’s Office itself points out, is also exerted over other communities in the area13. Thanks to PBI’s accompaniment, JyP was able to attend the leaders’ burials and express its support for the communities and their fierce defence of territory and peace.The entry into the municipality of Acandí, located in the north of the department of Chocó, has given JyP the hope of resuming accompaniment to the indigenous communities of the Chidima-Tolo and Pescadito reservations, where they have not been able to enter since August 2020. 1.
