12:31 am
cost. uh, why did i live and get this is walter alexander the older boy we we never found him is this is deal on much. yes. at the it was his 5th birthday that day talking to the and doesn't quite and they read this is marleni. the mother and i, my wife, she was 29. that then you having dinner with young. and here is our 9 month old baby. his name is manuel, salvador shop had those family died in the same place that they lived. an avalanche buried his wife and children in 2022 years where their house one stood there. and now wooden markers in this part of northwestern columbia. the number of avalanches as more than doubled since 2018 a life is fate and there's nothing you can do about it. i know there's no point to looking for someone to blame and visit often there are those responsible. but if
12:32 am
you think about it too much, you can lose your mind. i don't law school is a low. can i help you isn't, isn't moment. but are there really no culprits to try to understand what's going on here? we have to go back to 2018, the start of an ambitious project. in that year, the multinational china harbor engineering company began building the alto piece to monitors highway the company and its chinese parent group, c, c. c. c. have built infrastructure in more than 150 countries, the parent company, whoever is in just repute for allegedly paying bribes and that has reached certain questions. is the construction company responsible for the problems of a small community in columbia? what responsibility does the colombian government have for these types of infrastructure projects and who benefits in the end? maybe even is colombia 2nd largest city. until a few years ago,
12:33 am
the city lacked an adequate route to connected with the caribbean coast in the north. now with out to a piece that a lot of those things are different in the middle of this road is the small town of w e. but since the beginning of 2024 done yet, we had data has been the mayor equally to have data has lived all his life in b. but since 2016, he has worked in different positions in the governors office and witness firsthand the construction and impact of the highway on his community a lot from west side. the highway project is not really designed for small cities like ours, that i mean what the project really does is benefit international trade for the for
12:34 am
k and all because ports are going to a built in order about that can handle goods from all over the world that and mainly from china, a country that already accounts for more than 20 percent of its imports, according to official columbia and figures. ok on the way out in class i last for the project aimed at exporting local goods. we would all benefit greatly. so a little bit better because we are agriculture producers. if you look at the old roads around here, they're terrible the old route passed through the center of the municipality and boost of its economy. but the new road skirts around the community causing more than just economic difficulties. an engineer who worked on the road construction for 2 years
12:35 am
agreed to talk to dw, but asked to remain anonymous. couple 02 buttons the impulse. i believe that several of those land sights were caused by bad construction practices where they should have worked with machines, they turned to explosives. it was covered under kindly customer service that made the stone fragile and displayed the goals will put out. you know, let's just say a lot of mistakes were made, always good to him. while that's practical. the largest catastrophe happened in 2020 numerous land slide said 5 different small communities simultaneously. more than 300 families lost loved ones and all their possessions scale. and they say use us to as a domains, you know, we all know that's a land site occurred on the same mountain where most of the construction was going on in java e, but we never had such land slot. that seems pretty strange. the way i look at when we get started. ready and it was on that day that money was
12:36 am
a potter's son turned 5. go ahead. yeah. me or you know, i went out to get kick from my son's birthday and then the avalanche happened and i couldn't get back home then you up and fell a long time to pull it out of the monastery. a simple birthday cake saved his life and made him the sole survivor of his family. dw, asks the columbia and authorities on the consortium led by the chinese company about the excessive use of dynamite in the area. the consortium said that no land sites had been reported during the work due to controlled blasting with dynamite. and that the techniques are generally appropriate and have been evaluated during the work. but many and debbie eva believes that the consortiums malpractice is go beyond its construction techniques, perhaps with the way they chose their local partners by the 5th. okay. and they side, it is no secret that the former man is a business man with
12:37 am
a lot of business in de eva con, which enables us invalid. yeah, i mean, the largest camp that the chinese university was on this man's 5 said. and lots of the offices that the chinese used for their operation sins are also owned by this gentleman of yeah, this is in your most 5 just sitting with the parking lots and he even owns the hotels that they use during the project. so yeah. so that poses a great conflict of interest, sound company that is a different place along the highway that may see to is an informal neighborhood founded in 2019 today it is home to around 3000 people. when the building consortium led by china harbor engineering company, signed the contract to build the highway in 2015, the neighborhood did not exist yet when the construction work began,
12:38 am
things were different. still the company chose to act as if the neighborhood wasn't there. the john or the hundreds or a go work for the group between 20212023 live said lama. say that's what it is that we go. and this neighborhood is located above the head of the tunnel in thousands and thousands of those. i like to add to and then about 50 to 60 meters from the tunnel entrance confinement place and thought of this one time. what's going on? we have a slope that protects the land so that the water just not watching the way i say to 10 minutes. i lose cool. $95.00 out of the sea and but as time goes by, the slope is cracking and be coming on suitable and is also damaging the neighborhood and condo town again and by the info. so leave with the fear that they will be an avalanche and take all the families with a lot of, i mean, as i the kind of these places where out to piece the of mar, those passes through are not alone. the problems that occurred here are not
12:39 am
isolated cases, says maria, cut the lien and the quote to an expert who investigates chinese infrastructure projects in latin america the ages. but like many other companies, they go as far as they are allowed to that on this list. that'd be nice in w e, but for example, certain requirements were ignored in particularly environmental ones. people are looking at my ceiling. is it connected to me? i'm being started particularly additionally, there are other irregularities that could ultimately lead to corruption problems show the on that yet, but they must go to see us. the construction project also damaged graves, some of which were 2000 to 600 years old. and one of the oldest archaeological sites in columbia, the consortium bought the land to use as a material depot. ingrid be dollars is one of the archaeologists who worked on the emergency excavations that the consortium organized but all about
12:40 am
a sick when they realize that the complexity of the archaeological site and all the tombs that were there, they decided not to continue with the excavations to preserve the archaeological heritage, but also to save the costs and avoid time delays. but the damage was already done. one 3rd of the burial mountains are gone. and what about the people who live here? experts call for more concerns and the communities involved so that they will also benefit from large infrastructure projects. nancy, go nowhere near the cool they put on say whether or not investment projects are beneficial will depend on both sides of those factors, e, i. e, and here it is very important to bear in mind that if we want to have a profitable relationship with china, our institutions must be strong enough to allow that relationship to be profitable for both sides. this global quite a bit and we'd be the almost gets the 12, the because not only the past,
12:41 am
but also the future of entire communities are at stake. the 20 will have to leave to make way for a road or surface. mine or entire villages must up sticks because of rising sea levels, or when governments expel entire population groups, then it's the case of forced resettlement. and it keeps happening for life, the where the everyday phone see not wonder is how long she can continue working in her shop. she is worried because she is supposed to leave the area and take her store and her 3 children. the authorities want them all to move the mile,
