Colombia · Latin America + Caribbean region

Abelardo de la Espriella proposes militarizing Cúcuta as a strategy to regain control following the murder of Miguel Castellanos on Monday night. The killing heavily impacted local residents, who feel the city has been left at the margin of armed groups despite previous presidential administrations failing to address the issue over the last six terms.
