“So we worked, expanded our research and generated an answer.” “We published the report “ Enough!” in 2013 and some relatives of victims told us, ‘We are not there,'” says Suárez. The work of summarizing the violent events that occurred in Colombia faced a major challenge early on - the team had to first list what needed to be told. The project was led by a 41-year-old sociologist from the National University, Andrés Fernando Suárez, who is the founder of the Memory and Conflict Observatory at the National Center of Historical Memory, with researcher Gonzalo Sánchez. The latest research now includes who did what to whom, when, where and how, starting in 1958 through July 2018. The project also reviewed individual stories, one by one, to provide a more complete perspective of the country’s memory and history of conflict. The results can be summarized into a shocking number: 262,197 fatalities over 60 years.
