A prolonged battle between government forces and a Marxist rebel group has displaced 4 million people in Colombia. Due to this strife, Colombia places second in the world for the number of internally displaced people behind Sudan. Many of those displaced are native populations.
This internal struggle has gotten very little press when compared to the Sudan. Perhaps this is because Americans associate Colombia with the drug trade and that any violence that goes on there, we assume must have to do with that.
