Colombia S.O.S.

I am Venezuelan, but as a human being it hurts what is happening in Colombia. This is getting out of control, justice in that country has no foundation and those who are supposed to protect us are hurting us and yes, I include myself because politics in my country is not much helpful either.. Colombian citizens are desperate, just as Venezuelans don't want dictatorships, demand empathy, demand change, demand to be heard. No more violence, no more unfair deaths!. They, like all, are hardworking people and full of dreams, wanting to get ahead, let's remember that in the union is the strength.

The proposal was not well received and Colombians took to the streets in droves on April 28 to protest against the measure. Many demonstrations ended in violence and vandalism. Hundreds of civilians and policemen were injured and several people have died in the middle of the clashes in cities such as Bogotá, Cali, Medellín, among others. If you like, I can make a post that delves into the subject !.
