Manyoma and her family, along with others from San Isidro, sought refuge in Buenaventura due to violence stemming from the international cocaine trade, experiencing displacement and living in a sports arena turned shelter.
Colombia's enduring conflict involving government forces, drug cartels, armed groups, and paramilitaries continues to force millions of people from their homes, creating a state of limbo for Manyoma and others.
The village of San Isidro, occupied by Black communities dependent on farming, fishing, and logging, faces threats from the drug trade, leading to violence, fear, and ultimately mass displacement.
Manyoma describes the prolonged displacement as akin to living in a crystal ball without a way out, expressing the frustration and hopelessness of waiting for elusive peace while struggling to survive.
