96.62 Despite the actions carried out by certain government agencies to attenuate
the problems of the displaced population, and important progress attained, it has not
been possible to comprehensively protect the rights of the displaced population,
primarily due to the precarious institutional capacity to implement State policies and
the insufficient allocation of resources.64
96.63 The massacre in Mapiripán, combined, inter alia, with intimidation by the
paramilitary, with what they experienced during the days of the massacre, with the
damage suffered by the families and the possibility of further damage, for having to
testify or already having done so, caused the internal displacement of complete
families from Mapiripán. Some of the displaced persons did not live in Mapiripán itself
at the time of the facts, but they were likewise forcefully displaced as a consequence
of those events.65
96.64 Some of the inhabitants displaced from Mapiripán who have been identified
are Jesús Antonio Morales, Nery Alfonso Ortiz, Ana Betulia Alfonso, Luz Helena
Molina, Ana Tulia Agudelo, Norberto Cortés, Margarita Franco Ramírez, Leonardo
Iván Cortés Novoa, Mariela Contreras Cruz, Rusbel Asdrúbal Martínez Contreras,
Maryuri and Gustavo Caicedo Contreras, Zuli Herrera Contreras, Nory Giraldo de
Jaramillo, Carmen Johanna Jaramillo, Marina Sanmiguel Duarte, Nadia Mariana,
Yinda Adriana, Johanna Marina, Roland Andrés and Ronald Mayiber, all of them

the above, the following were minors at the time of the facts: Rusbel Asdrúbal
Martínez Contreras, Maryuri and Gustavo Caicedo Contreras, and Nadia Mariana,
