Kolumbien. Rebel groups fight over coca-growing region in Colombia
The governor of a province in north-eastern Colombia has declared a state of emergency over fighting between rival rebel groups.
William Villamizar, governor of Norte de Santander, said the measure was necessary to assist people displaced by the clashes.
He said about 1,000 families had fled the fighting and 4,000 children were unable to go to school.
