The purpose of this article is to discuss the sense of a specific “position of waiting” that Victor Turner, can defined as a “crisis situation”. This work is the consequence of an ethnographic fieldwork done in the Urabá- Chocó area, in the republic of Colombia. The research was made in the frame of the peace process between the Colombian Government and the FARC. We will observe the situation of delay of the former guerrilla members waiting in a provisional place that little by little becomes permanent. This position is going to be analysed as a situation of “unstable equilibrium”. It is a specific crisis situation not yet solved. Trapped in this legal limbo the former guerrilla members cannot fully reintegrate into civilian life.
