Colombia nears 100 massacres in 2026; Caquetá triple murder marks 98th

A triple murder in Caquetá marks Colombia's 98th massacre of 2026, already 20 more than all of 2025, signaling an accelerating wave of armed-group violence. The pattern of rural massacres tied to criminal and insurgent groups persists, with Caquetá seeing its second such event. The trend indicates deteriorating security and potential displacement, though attribution and state response remain unclear.
