description This article analyzes the impact of the privatization of the Colombian war in the Ecuador-Colombia border and how this privatized war is related to the dispossession of the Afro-descendant population. Through the analysis of Plan Colombia and the appearance of private armies in the Colombian war, the article shows how the war responds to the interests of the transnational arms businesses. The responses that the Colombian state has given to the demands of the Afro-descendant population of the Nariño coast reveal how the culturalist discourse that has been imposed since the 1990s has served to consolidate the exclusion and dispossession produced by the privatized war.

Este artículo analiza el impacto de la privatización de la guerra de Colombia en la frontera binacional con Ecuador y su relación con la desposesión de la población afrodescendiente. Se muestra cómo la guerra responde cada vez más a los intereses de las transnacionales armamentistas y a los crecientes ejércitos privados. A partir de la respuesta del Estado colombiano a las demandas de la población afrodescendiente en el contexto de la privatización de la guerra, se muestra cómo el discurso culturalista que se impuso desde los años 90 ha servido para afianzar la exclusión y la desposesión que sufren los afrodescendientes.
