Through his Twitter account, President Gustavo Petro rejected the murder of a child under 4 years of age in the municipality of La Plata, in Huila. “We will spare no effort so that these atrocities never happen again,” the president wrote.

President Gustavo Petro, through his social networks, reacted to the murder of Harlin Salomé Usa Mosquera, a 4-year-old girl.
It must be remembered that the minor and her family were left in the middle of the confrontations between the National Army and members of the Mobile Column ‘Dagoberto Ramos’. Despite the efforts, the minor arrived without vital signs at the La Plata care center.
“Girls, boys and adolescents should never be victims of war, no armed group can exploit them or make them targets. I absolutely reject what happened to the girl Harlin Salomé and I stand in solidarity with her family. We will spare no effort so that these atrocities never happen again.” wrote the president.
On the other hand, it must be pointed out that the Ombudsman’s Office also regretted what happened and, like Petro, asked that children not be victims of the armed conflict.
“We regret and reject the death of a girl in the midst of the fighting that took place in the rural area of the Huilense municipality of La Plata, as we also make a strong call for absolutely all the civilian population, especially our children and adolescents, I was left out of hostilities.” the Ombudsman said in its statement.
