This work has as main purpose to expose some of the dynamics of the direct and structural violence of seven border departments that, in the last years, have raised as some of the scenarios in which concur a sort of variables that can experience new violences in the framework of the post-conflict in Colombia, which will be priority for the Peace Agreement subscribed with the FARC-EP guerrilla. Those departments are Arauca, Cauca, Chocó, Nariño, Norte de Santander, Putumayo and Valle del Cauca; for all of them an analysis of indicators of armed activism and socio-economic character is presented that goes from the number of guerilla actions or deaths by direct violence up to unsatisfied basic needs or the poverty condition, through the presence of illicit economies such as the coca crops or the illegal mining. The work, likewise, integrates perceptions of the municipal governments - collected between 2014 and 2015 - in which a warning was already issued about the special difficulties on those scenarios for the purpose of attending a process of building of comprehensive peace.
