Arrangements with L.A.A.s: In November 2004 the ELN proposed a humanitarian agreement whereby it would clear landsmines from around the municipality, as efforts to reach a local accord on a similar clearing agreement [affecting Argelia, San Francisco and San Carlos] with the departmental Humanitarian Commission in Antioquoa had been prevented by the national government. Once again, the government tried to prevent this process but ELN went ahead unilaterally &, in February 2005, claimed it had carried out de-mining in Micoahumado, requesting [via Geneva Call**] international verification before civilians be permitted to use the de-mined zone. The government has rejected this, as well as Geneva Call’s suggestion that the whole area be declared a de-militarised zone.
