Number, severity, and location of government protests
“The act of protesting; a public (often organized) manifestation of dissent.” (vocabulary.com)
Tens of thousands of people protested in more than 20 cities across Colombia on April 2 against President Juan Manuel Santos and his government's peace process with the FARC guerrillas.
The demonstrations come just days after Bogota launched peace talks with the country's second-biggest guerrilla group, the National Liberation Army (ELN), setting its sights on a total end to a bloody half-century conflict.
Large crowds ignored heavy rain in some cities as they took to the streets. Many demonstrators were decked out in the yellow, blue and red colors of the Colombian flag.
The protests were called by the Democratic Center party of the conservative former president Alvaro Uribe, who has voiced consistent opposition to negotiations with the Marxist FARC.
The protests in Colombia are often because of the conflicts that the citizens have with the government, and it´s laws.
A long time ago in Colombia began a “war” between the government and Las FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia) , which has given pain to many families and fear to Colombians.
