Cauca river

The Rio Cauca or Cauca River became known as the River of Death. The reason is that hundreds of bodies of murdered people were tossed into the Cauca River. It is well described in the book "End of Millennium" of Manuel Castell. He states that the Cali Cartel had participated in social cleansing of hundreds to thousands of "desechables" or discardables. The desechables included prostitutes, street children, petty thieves, homosexuals and the homeless. Along with some of the locals, the Cali Cartel formed parties self named grupos de limpieza social (English: social cleansing groups) who murdered the "desechables," often leaving them with signs on them stating: "Cali limpia, Cali linda" (English: clean Cali, beautiful Cali).
