Native Colombians join anti-government protests in Bogota
by Adriaan Alsema November 29, 2019
While Colombia’s President Ivan Duque was having a “National Conversation” with himself, native Colombian representatives arrived in the capital Bogota on Thursday to join urban protesters.
The representatives of 24 indigenous peoples arrived in the capital to give the government their proposals to strengthen their autonomy on Friday, according to national indigenous organization ONIC.
Others joined the urbanites in ongoing anti-government protests that entered their second week on Thursday.
According to a spokesperson of the CRIC, the organization of the indigenous peoples from the southwestern Cauca province, their delegation took its time to stop in towns and villages on their way to explain the purpose of their trip.
