TL;DR Summary

Thousands of Indigenous protesters, part of the "Minga" movement, have gathered in Bogota, Colombia, demanding an end to the ongoing wave of violence disproportionately affecting Indigenous communities. Despite supporting left-wing President Gustavo Petro, many demonstrators expressed disappointment with the lack of progress in curbing violence. 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.
