The problem of Internal displacement involves the whole Colombian population directly and indirectly. Both, the inhabitants of rural areas and of urban areas are in some way or another affected with this situation. Drawing a more detailed overview, there are the local and international corporations that operate on Colombian territory and that are, most of the time, linked in some way to right wing parties and politicians. Continuing with this list, the Colombian government participates in the conflict through the action of national defense forces, this is done in many cases with international support, such as the U.S. army troops or weaponry sponsored by them. In some cases these have been backed up by informal armed forced, like the Paramilitary, which non-legally interfere against Guerillas.
