Don’t let any US official claim this crisis came by surprise. Our government had years to prepare for mass arrival of Venezuelans and *this* was their answer.
My report from Colombia from 2019: “Venezuelan migration may become worlds largest” https://t.co/I8xOESERSg
23,000 Venezuelan migrants arriving in a month at the US-Mexico border would be big news: it only happened once before, last December.
In August, 23,632 migrants from #Venezuela (green on chart) walked through Panama's dangerous, ungoverned Darién Gap jungle.
🔥 New #climatemigration paper out! We sought to assess if people's experiences with and perceptions of #wildfire & #wildfiresmoke were related to intentions to move. Quick 🧵⬇️ Paper here: https://t.co/B0P0W8GFve (1/n)
Esteban Sinisterra Paz, 23, began sewing clothing “out of a necessity to bring money home.” Today, he is the man behind the wardrobe of Colombia’s new vice president, and a designer at the center of an Afro-Colombian fashion boom. https://t.co/nqfbfmmd23
“climate change and widespread deforestation are pushing the rainforest to a tipping point that could destroy its ability to recover from such damage. This could ultimately send years’ worth of global emissions into the atmosphere…”https://t.co/6D2WPD11Ya https://t.co/8SoA0M4ZWm
In case you missed this piece by myself and @nadege_mazars, here it is again. Our project on the children of Colombia’s indigenous guard, supported by the @pulitzercenter. My final piece from colombia… for now! :)
New: Colombians head to the polls today to vote in the first round of an uncertain presidential election that could deliver a historic repudiation of the status quo. Follow our coverage here: https://t.co/H9Q1HY7nIu
"Don't take the fall."
Former Colombian soldiers have repeatedly asked forgiveness for participating in 'false positives' killings. Today, families of the victims told them to stop shielding superiors, writes @ACOSTALUISJAIME: https://t.co/7s3hpXvtbX
One of the best parts of my job is getting to mid-wife stories like this: an in-depth investigation from @ACOSTALUISJAIME about how Mexican drug cartels are using high-powered, U.S.-made weapons to pay Colombian crime groups for coke https://t.co/Bk4nhFg2mT
She is an Afro-Colombian environmental crusader who has survived at least one assassination attempt to become one of the leading lights of Latin America’s new left.

In this piece for @monkeycageblog + @washingtonpost, @sarahmoreorless and I point to challenges the Colombian state faces as it moves forward with measures to provide equal access to abortion nationwide. https://t.co/uSwbQVRony
The headlines and focus on Ukraine will fizzle out. These things always do. Ukraine's people and Russia's too will face the consequences of this war. This trauma will stay with them for years to come, long after we forget about them. & we will, because we always do.
Colombia's constitutional court has decriminalized abortions until 24 weeks of gestation, joining a series of rulings around Latin America which have expanded abortion access. Story coming soon!
Incase you missed it on Friday, the story @nadege_mazars and I published in @AJEnglish is up on @pulitzercenter’s website. We returned to Cauca this weekend to tie up reporting for this project & we’ll soon have more stories in @guardian and @TheWorld.
