The transport ban the FARC imposed on the south Colombian departments
Meta and Caquetá is disrupting the food supply to parts of these
departments.
Community leaders in La Macarena, a town in the south of Meta, say food supplies that should have arrived last Wednesday never came.
Caquetá Secretary of Government Edilberto Ramon Endo admits that the security forces are having trouble keeping the roads safe and that guerrillas already attacked and killed one taxi driver and burnt several vehicles that were ignoring the ban.
The FARC this weekend bombed the Panamerican highway near Toribio, Cauca and prohibited all commercial transport over the commercially important highway and in Meta. Caquetá already had already been under a guerrilla transport ban for more than a week.
