Colombian government not doing enough to help the displaced, says U.N.

Displaced people in Colombia are not afforded the rights they are entitled to and the government needs to take a more active role in assisting them, according to a U.N. official that toured the country. Around 2 or 3 million Colombians are displaced (depending on the source of information) and most of them moved to extreme poverty in cities from rural areas marred by violence.
