Indigenous March in Bogota Demands Justice for Killings

TL;DR Summary

Indigenous communities make up half of those displaced or affected by violence in Colombia, despite representing only 3.5% of the population. The march aims to draw attention to the violence faced by Indigenous communities and hold the government accountable for its promises.
