Colombia's state forces apparently involved in 'orchestrated terror' campaign against citizens
by Adriaan Alsema November 23, 2019
Colombia’s capital Bogota on Saturday welcomed dawn after a night of terror, carried out in apparent collusion with the police.
In a video message, Bogota Mayor Enrique Peñalosa told residents around midnight that the violence was part of “an orchestrated campaign to create terror.”
Bogota Police commander Mayor General Hoover Penilla, whose subordinates were filmed while taking part in the violence, only barely kept a straight face when Peñalosa told residents to “not fall in this terror trap.”
“THIS IS A STATE SET-UP,” immediately trended on Twitter as only few were able to sleep.
