Hey there! 👋 Did you hear about what’s happening in Colombia’s Catatumbo region? It’s a place in South America where, since January 2025, there have been some serious problems.
There have been fights between two groups called guerrillas and paramilitaries. Think of it like two teams not getting along, but instead of just arguing, they’re using weapons. 😢
Because of these clashes, about 100 people have sadly lost their lives. Even more, around 50,000 people had to leave their homes to find safety. Imagine having to pack up and move suddenly—that’s what these families are going through.
Over a month has passed, but many families still don’t know what’s going to happen next. They’re in a place called “limbo,” which means they’re waiting and hoping for things to get better.
Kids and teens, just like you, are among those affected. They’ve had to leave their schools, friends, and favorite places. They all dream of peace so they can go back home and return to their normal lives.
Let’s keep them in our thoughts and hope that peace comes soon to Catatumbo! ✨
