Colombia declares 'state of emergency' amid guerrilla offensive

CGTN

Colombia's president on Monday declared a "state of emergency" in response to bloody guerrilla violence that has killed more than 100 people and displaced 11,000 in just a few days.

"A state of internal unrest and state of economic emergency has been declared" said Gustavo Petro, giving authorities in the restive border region with Venezuela the power to restrict movement and other legal tools.
