This article carries out a general description and an overview of the processes  of De-mobilization, Disarmament and Re-insertion (DDR) in the Cacique Nutibara y Héroes de Granada blocks in the city of Medellín.  The first of these areas, was demobilized December 9, 2003, with 868 ex-combatants and 467 weapons delivered; the second, August 1, 2005, with 2,033 ex-combatants and 1,120 weapons delivered.  The article describes and analyzes the local processes, based on the variables proposed by Gleichman and his working group in the year 2004, it and contrasts them with the national one, at the same time building a series of hypotheses that should be kept in mind at the moment of characterizing the nature of para-militarism in the city.  The result is a program with strengths and achievements, but also with empty spaces and limitations.
