Colombia asked for explanations on the presence of the US military
Bogotá, Apr 4 (Prensa Latina) Senator Iván Cepeda asked today for explanations about the presence of the US military on the Colombian-Venezuelan border, at a time when the world is being hit by the health crisis caused by Covid-19.
The Foreign Ministry must explain what role the US military is playing in operations that are taking place on the border between Colombia and Venezuela. In the midst of a pandemic, does the Colombian government intend to lead the country to a transnational war ?, he said.
For his part, Senator Antonio Sanguino pointed out that while the Colombian Army carries out 'anti-drug' maneuvers in the Cúcuta border area, the United States carries out its own. And all this in the middle of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)?
Sources in credible terrain tell us about joint anti-drug operations between Colombian and US forces. And they tell me that these images correspond to military maneuvers in the Boconó neighborhood of Cúcuta, he said when he shared the audiovisual material they sent him.
