Exodus
In Latin America, persistent issues such as lack of job opportunities, limited access to education, and political corruption have led to cycles of violence and displacement. Nicolò Filippo Rosso has documented these migration routes over four years, highlighting the diverse reasons for emigration and the challenges faced by migrants, including exposure to trafficking and recruitment by gangs. The text underscores the hardships of stateless children and the ongoing struggle for migrants to find safer living conditions.
They were killed trying to reach the U.S. border. They were returned to a Guatemalan village consumed by grief.
Sixteen Guatemalan migrants, including Santa Cristina García, were killed allegedly by Mexican police near the Texas border. Their bodies, found scorched beyond recognition, were returned to their village in Guatemala, highlighting the perilous journey migrants undertake in search of better opportunities. Twelve Mexican police officers have been charged with homicide.
A Separate Peace
Colombia remains divided after rejecting a historic peace deal with the FARC. The author, a Colombian, visited Cauca, a region heavily affected by the conflict, and observed a strong support for the peace deal among locals, despite skepticism about the government's promises. The deal proposed benefits for the FARC in exchange for disarmament and reintegration into civilian life. However, in Bogotá, the capital, there was significant opposition, fueled by former President Álvaro Uribe Vélez and his Centro Democrático party. The 'no' campaign eventually prevailed, leaving the author and many others disheartened by the missed opportunity for peace.
Colombia’s abandoned Wayuu people
The Wayuu, Colombia's largest indigenous community, face severe threats to their survival due to land exploitation and water mismanagement. The construction of the Cercado Dam in 2011 drained their primary water source, forcing them to rely on distant, polluted wells. Living in extreme poverty in the remote La Guajira peninsula, the Wayuu suffer from drought and inadequate resources. Reports indicate that 4,700 Wayuu children have died in the past five years. In December, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights urged the Colombian government to protect the Wayuu's human rights and prevent further avoidable deaths.
