History of Comuna 13.
The Commune 13 is one of the 16 communes found in the city of Medellín, which began to be populated in the 30s and 40s, and where there were a large number of people who in the 70s arrived fleeing the violence of different sectors of the city. Colombia as is the Urabá Antioqueño.
This commune became one of the most dangerous in the country, since the armed groups that existed in the sector were very strong and totally controlled this territory, groups such as: FARC, ELN, PARAMILITARES, CAP. Groups that terrorize and caused this commune to have great combats and much suffering.
Suffering that occurs through the conflicts between these same groups, their recruitments, assassinations, extortions, kidnappings and finally the military operations, in which many injustices were committed, where there were dead, disappeared and people in jail being innocent.
But the COMUNA 13 continued to move forward and through the social work of different groups such as AMI (association of the women of the independences), the Berracas, artistic groups such as Casa Colacho, or artists that we can mention by name such as Chota 13, George Art, and others.

Operation Orion Comuna 13.
Before talking about OPERATION ORION, we must remember a little of the history of the Comuna 13 sector of Medellin. Violence in the city of Medellín grew in the 1980s, with guerrillas, paramilitaries and cartels terrorizing the city through violent acts.
The greatest legacy of drug trafficking was the violence it left in many of Medellín’s neighborhoods, where many young people wanted easy money and to feel they could conquer the world through violence.
The absence of the Colombian state in sectors such as COMUNA 13 led to the creation and strengthening of groups such as criminal combos, different types of criminal gangs, urban militias and paramilitaries. Groups that were increasingly gaining strength in the urban sector.
Inhabitants of COMUNA 13 narrate how the guerrillas arrived in the territory, they say that these groups entered from the hills of San Cristóbal, this happened starting in the 90s.
Groups such as FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia) and ELN (Army De Liberación Nacional) were those that entered and made their presence felt in this territory.
Subsequently, a guerrilla group was created in the same commune called CAP (Comandos Armados Del Pueblo). Things were not going well, but when another group arrived, the paramilitaries, life in the territory became much worse. All this brought death, kidnapping, extortion, fear and massive displacement.
After the year 2000 everything started to get worse for the community, violence was much more common, and Express Kidnappings began to be seen. This type of kidnapping was one of the major strategies of the guerrillas to raise money for the war.
Because of all that was happening, there were 24 military operations in the sector between 1998 and 2002, including Mariscar and Antorcha.
The objective of these operations was to have a state presence in the territory and to try to combat (eliminate) the guerrilla groups that were in the sector.
Who led the Operation in Comuna 13?
Operation Orion was directed by Mario Montoya, who at the time was a general (now retired) of the IV Army Brigade. In addition, Montoya was assisted by retired general Leonardo Gallego Castrillón, head of the Metropolitan Police of the city of Medellín.
These two men were accused by different testimonies of their excessive force in the midst of the operation, which ended in the disappearance or deaths of innocent people.
It is known that Don Berna, former paramilitary paramilitary leader now imprisoned in the United States, is known to have spoken about these two former generals. He claimed that Operation Orion was carried out in connection with members of the paramilitary force.

HISTORY OF MEDELLÍN.
To talk a little about the history of Medellín we must talk about the discovery of the Aburrá Valley. This was in the year 1541, due to the expedition that was being made by Jerónimo Luis Téjelo and directed by Marshal Jorge Robledo. Although there were already inhabitants in that sector, such as indigenous groups.
These indigenous groups were subjugated, and some of them were enslaved, others fled and others committed suicide in order not to be enslaved. Much later, in the year 1616, the Town of San Lorenzo de Aburrá precisely where today is located the Poblado This was given as a shelter for about 80 indigenous people who finally mixed with the Spaniards and began the growth of the small village that was being formed.
In 1675, the official foundation of the town of Our Lady of Candelaria of Medellín took place.
Over time Medellín became the capital of Antioquia, since it had Santa Fe de Antioquia, and began to have economic importance with the construction of highways, tramway, train: which helped to make Medellin a city with good access and where commerce began to have an important place.
Medellín had a period in the 80’s and 90’s of violence where it was catalogued as the most dangerous city in the world and where fear filled the minds of the Pisas.
But the inhabitants of Medellín have been able to cope with this season and amidst the desire to move forward and leave that absurd violence in the past, it has now become the second most important city in Colombia. Colombia and one of the most touristic, with friendly people, full of charisma and a lot of entrepreneurship. For all this and much more you will find the best Tours in Medellín.
