Look Westwards from the public library at San Javier metro station in Medellfn, built by Sergio Fajardo, a former mayor of the city, and you will see two green tarpaulins spread high on the mountainside opposite. They mark La Escombrera, a rubbish dump used by the paramilitaries and the army in the early 2000s to dispose of bodies as they expelled the FARC and the ELN from Comuna 13, one of the city's poorest neighbourhoods. When the paramilitaries demobilised and confessed to their crimes, they said that up to 300 bodies were buried there.
