description | This article explains how, through civil resistance, the community of Samaniego made the abuses of the armed actors in their territory backfire, a phenomenon described as “jiu-jitsu”. We examine the strategies used to generate this phenomenon during three main periods of civil resistance, focusing on two aspects: the organized structure of the civil resistance movement and the access to means that allow disseminating information about the situation. Based on interviews and on-site observation, we show how achieving a jiu-jitsu helped the community of Samaniego to be more autonomous from the armed actors. |

En este artículo se explica cómo la comunidad de Samaniego logró, a través de la resistencia civil, que los abusos de los actores armados en su territorio resultaran contraproducentes, un fenómeno que se describe como jiu-jitsu. Se examinaron las estrategias utilizadas para generar dicho fenómeno durante tres periodos de mayor resistencia, con énfasis en dos aspectos: la estructura organizativa del movimiento de resistencia civil y el acceso a medios de difusión de información sobre la situación. A partir de entrevistas y observación in situ, principalmente, se muestra cómo el lograr un jiu-jitsu ayudó a la comunidad a obtener más autonomía en su relación con los actores armados.
