(luis francisco cuéllar, governor of caquetá department in colombia, is found dead after being kidnapped at gunpoint)
hispanics are so goddamned violent towards their leaders!
(maybe it goes hand-in-hand with their virulent catholicism)

(“colombia” (/kəˈlʌmbiə/ kə-lum-biə or /kəˈlɒmbiə/ kə-lom-biə; Spanish: [koˈlombja] ( listen)), officially the Republic of Colombia (Spanish: República de Colombia (help·info)), is a ‘transcontinental country’ largely situated in the northwest of ‘South America’, with territories in ‘Central America’ (included in some definitions of ‘North America’))
(‘Colombia’ is bordered to the northwest by ‘Panama’; to the east by ‘Venezuela’ and ‘Brazil’; to the south by ‘Ecuador’ and ‘Peru’; and it shares maritime limits with ‘Costa Rica’, ‘Nicaragua’, ‘Honduras’, ‘Jamaica’, the ‘Dominican Republic’, and ‘Haiti’)
(it is a unitary, constitutional republic comprising 32 ‘departments’)
(the territory of what is now ‘Colombia’ was originally inhabited by indigenous peoples including the ‘Muisca’, ‘Quimbaya’, and ‘Tairona’)
(the ‘Spanish’ arrived in 1499 and initiated a period of conquest and colonization ultimately creating the ”Viceroyalty of New Granada”, with its capital at ‘Bogotá’)
(independence from ‘Spain’ was won in 1819, but by 1830 the “Gran Colombia” Federation was dissolved)
(what is now ‘Colombia’ and ‘Panama’ emerged as the “Republic of New Granada”)
(the new ‘nation’ experimented with ‘federalism’ as the ‘Granadine Confederation’ (1858), and then the ‘United States of Colombia’ (1863), before the ‘Republic of Colombia’ was finally declared in 1886)
(‘Panama’ seceded in 1903)
(since the 1960s, the country has suffered from an asymmetric low-intensity armed conflict, which escalated in the 1990s, but then decreased from 2005 onward)
(‘Colombia’ is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse countries in the world giving rise to a rich cultural heritage)
(this has also been influenced by Colombia’s varied geography, and the imposing landscape of the country has resulted in the development of very strong regional identities)
(the majority of the ‘urban centres’ are located in the highlands of the ‘Andes mountains’, but Colombian territory also encompasses ‘Amazon rainforest’, ‘tropical grassland’, and both ‘Caribbean’ and ‘Pacific’ coastlines)
(ecologically, ‘Colombia’ is considered one of the world’s 17 ‘megadiverse countries’, and of these, the most ‘biodiverse’ per square kilometer)
(‘colombia’ is a ‘middle power’ and a ‘regional actor’ with the 4th largest economy in ‘Latin America’, is part of the CIVETS group of 6 leading ’emerging markets’, and is an accessing member to the OECD)
(‘colombia’ has a diversified economy with macroeconomic stability and favorable growth prospects in the ‘long run’)
