Map data
EUAA has provided several maps within this report that are based on reporting by organisations such as FIP, Pares and ACLED. It is important to note that the information and methodologies used to create illustrative maps of illegal armed actors, of violent acts, and of conflict areas, among other indicators, vary according to the source and their methodology. In Colombia, illegal armed groups do not follow a set pattern of presence strictly bound by municipal, departmental or national geopolitical borders; on the contrary, due to the fluidity of conflict dynamics and their capacity to adapt, illegal armed actors may have a deeper impact on certain areas than in others, even within a same municipality or department. Readers should understand such maps in light of each source's methodology and read them in context with the information provided on the security situation.
