BUENAVENTURA, Colombia (AP) — Officers wade through rows of abandoned wooden homes teetering above a mangrove-cloaked river – one of the key channels used by gangs to move drugs and weapons through this long-neglected swath of Colombia’s Pacific coast. Each step for them is a reminder: Control here remains not with the law, but with those whose names are spoken in whispers in their city. Los Shottas and Los Espartanos.

Government officials and aid agencies have given death tolls ranging from about 4,000 to 11,000.

Now, the rights of Afghan women and children are on the agenda of the United Nations General Assembly Monday in New York.
