SEE ALSO: The Fall of Gentil Duarte – What Does It Mean for Colombia? In January 2022, Mayimbú assumed the Cauca leadership of the confederation of FARC dissidents allied with Gentil Duarte, following the death of Duarte's previous envoy, Euclides España Caicedo, alias "Jhonier," in Toribío, Cauca. Noscué cooperated with Miguel Botache Santanilla, alias " Gentil Duarte," and several other dissidents in the area. He was blamed for the 2019 murder of Karina García, a mayoral candidate for the municipality of Suárez, and for a wave of violence against Indigenous leaders in the region.
Mayimbú's leading position made him a high-value target for the Colombian government. In 2018, the Jaime Martínez Mobile Column had expanded rapidly into crucial coca and marijuana production areas in the northern part of Cauca department and neighboring Valle del Cauca. Mayimbú was the leader of a dissident faction of the now-defunct FARC guerrilla, also known as the ex-FARC Mafia, called the Jaime Martínez Mobile Column. On June 13, President Iván Duque announced via Twitter the death of Leider Johnay Noscué Bototo, alias “ Mayimbú,” in an army operation in the western department of Cauca. One month after the death of Gentil Duarte, the Colombian army has killed two more important dissident leaders, in the north and the west of the country, further curtailing the ex-FARC Mafia's capacity to coordinate its factions.
