Colombia Is Rising Up

- čas přidán 27. 05. 2021
- Today marks one month of large-scale protests across Colombia, an uprising without a clear precedent in the South American country’s history. It started with a national strike in April protesting a tax reform bill, but it soon became an entrenched mass movement against poverty, inequality, and state violence, fueled by poor urban youths who do battle directly with the police. According to human rights groups, more than 40 people have been killed by security forces, and the upheaval has turned into a genuine crisis of legitimacy for a historically unpopular government. VICE News spent time on the front lines of the unrest.

We talked to the team that got inside Colombia's protest movement to see how people with only a few shields and rocks stood up to armed police. - czcams.com/video/NCn72PQRNpI/video.html
If they believed they were tyrants and killers,
Why are they standing infront of them and jeering them?

As a citizen of Myanmar suffering from the same attrocities, we send our prayers to Colombia.
As a citizen from Colombia I thank you for your kind words. We send you as well our good vibes so we can endure together. Our fights won't be in vain. 💪
hey man i saw some videos od BBC whats happening with the coup d'État
@@adventuressdcafansub7249 Well the Tatmadaw (Burmese armed forces) has responded with brutal crackdowns and citizens are now taking up arms in Shan State, Kayah, Mobye, Mindat, and other places. The NUG (Burmese government in exile) has created the PDF (People Defense Force), a rival militia to counter the Tatmadaw. As of now at least 850+ people are dead and thousands are arbitrarily arrested. Bomb attacks have also increased since the coup but it is unclear whether the bombs are created and placed by the Tatmadaw or by the resistance.
Deeply sorry for.what is also happening in your country. Here in Colombia, there in Myanmar, we are just looking for justice
We send our prayers to your people too 🙏
Every dumb politician ever " They are trying to defame our country".
they are not dumb they are smart and evil.. thats called demagogy
It is true though. Someone is paying protesters. It is an utterly bizarre thing. I'm not defending the crackdown at all, but something shady is going on. Protesters have admitted to being paid to protest.
Absolutely ridiculous the minister of justice. He needs to be taken to Court himself.
The system is controlled by these sorts of people in just about every nation the world over. Justice is a fairy tale, and court isn't the option when the system is so corrupted. Revolution, much like revolution that is direly needed in the USA is the only solution.
Pablo should do what he did to the first one
That minister of justice speaks like a villain out of a Movie.
Though he probably has a point. Colombia is world wide reknown for its criminal underworld and drug trading and those are the ones profiting the most from public disorder and anarchy. I mean listen to the guard of the commune himself: it's a coalition of formerly waring gangs that have taken over there.
While the public outrage and demands are for sure born out of a widespread dissatisfaction within the broad population it is highly unlikely that parts of it isn't hijacked by the cartells to strengthen their position and influence
@@boahkeinbockmehr everything u said can be true, but thats besides the point lol he can easily see how everything u said is true...but somehow he doesnt see how a corrupt government plays a part at all. All the video evidence of police shooting protesters...not happening.
they are the same cartel of medellin of pablo escobar.
@@laangelica Honey? Do we know eachother? Well anyways thanks for the local insight darling =)
@@boahkeinbockmehr Trust me this is not so the case. People is tired of the government cynicism. The way that minister speaks is a clear obvious sign of how sick these politicians have turned in order to get money from a very hostile corruptive government. They only see people as numbers. They don't care at all about lives and will do the craziest sick things to keep on power. They want to pretend looking as civilized people but they have lost theirs souls and forgot about any human principles. May the justice come from above!.

"Insurrection is the most sacred of the rights and the most indispensable of duties." - Marquis de La Fayette
January 6th
I spent a year living in Bogotá, and I was there in 2019 when the latest string of protests began. Living in Bogotá, and visiting some cities and villages outside, I saw everywhere how resourceful, strong, and compassionate the people of Colombia are.
I wondered how a country with such a hardworking, smart population, huge natural resources, and an amazing strategic position on two oceans, and the only land border between North America and South America could be so underdeveloped. It didn't take long to become clear that there's a simple answer. Colombia has never had good government. Since independence, it's remained fully under control by the Spanish elite and their families, disguised as a multiparty system, but the only ones who win elections and stay alive are the right and far right parties.
Don't give up the fight, Colombianos. Your people, your country have nowhere to go but up. Just stay strong, and make sure that next year, a good candidate wins the presidency. Petro is running again, I think. He would be a good start. Primera Linea, you might have to be his protection. You know what happened the last time a left-wing president was elected.
I taught at SENA for a few years and witnessed the peace agreements. There was such hope then. Sad to see my friends and former students in this awful turmoil
You're right, That is a huge problem here, the government, ministers, senators, and most of the politicians have been in politics for decades. It has become for them like a real business, that's why the same families, relatives and friends have been in politics year after year.And Corruption is the biggest problem, they have stolen everything, rivers, resources, education budget, health budget, budget for rural areas, for children's education, for the development of towns and cities, everything! and they will do anything to win the elections or win a public agreement/ contract. The Colombians got tired of that s
I agree with you and as a Colombian I appreciate your words I wish my English was better but I believe you describe so accurate not only the current situation of the country but what is been happening centuries ago the elites the powerful families that have been in the power they’re responsible of the profound poverty of most Colombian people the lacked of opportunity of the country the people couldn’t take it anymore we are desperate to have a honest descent life and I personally will continue to work hard to hopefully have in my life time a more equal country. Thanks again may god bless
I'm colombian, so thanks for your words good man. My country needs to get rid of the disgusting corruption of its rulers that have caused this popular revolt.
@@isaiahbaggett5014 Thanks for your wishes man
The reporter was so respectful and allowed the interviewees the opportunity to truly give their side of the story. Seeing him tear up a little at the end when they shouted resistance was a breath of fresh air to see a reporter care so deeply. Well done Vice!
I agree with him being compassionate...BUT he also has to be more critical. His questions and comments are self-affirming (see 15:41). He might as well be speaking FOR the protestors. This makes it hard to discern whether this is the view of a small pocket of Colombian society or a reflection of society as a whole. What do Colombians think about not having access to critical supplies from the port, for example? I'd like to see more journalism, and less editorialism from Vice, personally...even though I agree with your assessment to some degree.
@@kneecapwho Although not every Colombian is having problems with having access to these supplies you mention, it is unfortunately the only way to put pressure on the government to sit down with the protesters and with different representatives from different groups and reach agreements to improve many things that are so wrong. It is also a way of showing other people with privileges (mostly living in the big cities and sometimes disconnected from reality) that there are a lot of problems that need to be solved. The answer from the government has just been responding with state violence and showing how disconnected they are from the people and their needs.
It's his country as well. Viva Colombia!
@@dukeboy51 I'll never support government-sponsored violence against citizens. Zero excuse for that. However, I also don't accept this "there is no choice but". Violence begets violence. Colombia is a democratic country, and for all the flaws and ways that can be manipulated, Colombians still have their opportunity to choose who leads them through the vote. My original comment was simply to challenge Vice's way of characterizing the problem.
@@kneecapwho not when you're a minority and marginalized.
I am from Colombia and it is the first time I hear the Minister of Justice. It is incredible they are still saying that we are terrorists for protesting against this awful government.
Total, hay que hacerlo viral
I know, I had never seen him even speak in public like that. Only the minister of defense does that recently
Tbh, is the first time I heard about him in this month of protest.
It shows there will not be justice for the atrocities the police has done.
More humans will be suffering .
Calling an innocent party "terrorist" has been a CNN, BBC and Israel thing
Even the Minister seems to not beleive his own BS.
'It's an organized campaign to delegitimize the country!'
'Organized by who?'

Bro, what?
Keep safe Colombia 🇨🇴 from Philippines 🇵🇭
keep safe philippines, your president is totally inept.
@@barbequesque idk about that tho... Anyways, you guys stay safe
This could happen to the Philippines i believe. "isolated case" "defame the country" pretty much the same tactics using in two different countries.
@@boros4034 except in the Philippines, its a legitimate concern. Most anti-government agitation are backed by the political elite and even struck a deal with the Communist Party of the Philippines just to get rid of Duterte.
And guess who's behind the opposition? Liberal Party. The Aquinos. Funded by IsraHELL through Soros and CIA to destablize renegade allies. Japan got punished several times by the Deep State of IsraHELL to assert independence from US hegemony.
Props to vice for actually reporting on real global news when the mainstream media won’t
There on the same side
@@emanuelperez5594 Nailed it!
I think you don't understand how larger news organizations work. Vice hires its own investigative journalists and uses its own footage, while larger news organizations just collect and present information from smaller groups of investigative journalists.
So Vice gets to cover these stories first, and Vice also is a big name that can find more people who are willing to do investigations in more dangerous places. Never forget that the people who do this are usually at risk, and it's not a job most people keep for long.
@@monsieurdorgat6864 I think you don't understand what propaganda is unless it disagrees with your narrative!
As for the 'risky job,' you need to get out of your bubble?
@@AT-ytinvasive "I think you don't understand what propaganda is unless it disagrees with your narrative!"
Wow look I can say that back to you and it's equally as helpful (but enormously more true). That wasn't even what I was talking about, but good god do you suck at reading!
Please tell me how it's not risky to interview drug lords and soldiers in active war zones for months at a time. I'm fascinated by this opportunity to "get out of my bubble"!!!

This is all propaganda. the government literally gave them exactly what they wanted and they are still protesting for more and what is worse is they are literally blocking food, water, and medical supplies to various cities. I supported the protests in the begging because what the government wanted to do was awful but the second I started seeing them physically black food, water, and medical supplies to cities I stopped supporting them.

So as a result you punish the entire population, not the government itself, and people end up dying because they can't receive the things they need to live and function as a human beings. Makes total sense!
"protest without those things is meaningless and causes no effect."
This is beyond not true, you can achieve the things you want without hurting your own people. I don't understand how any Colombian can believe that proper social programs can be achievable when you live in a country that has a large group of animals like FARC?
Que lo vea todo el MUNDO!!!! 🇨🇴
The last bit tore me up. My heart goes out to the young people who put their lives on the line. No one's ever have to go through sh* like this..
Fuerza Colombia, país hermoso de gente linda, Dios los cuide ahora y siempre, saludos desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
are you a capitalist?
calla gil
También en cuba, pero la gente no se tiran a fajarse con los “policías”
I wanna have what the Colombian Minister of Justice is smoking. Love from Malaysia to all Colombians out there. Bersatu teguh, bercerai roboh.
If you'd be here you'd see how all of this is not as vice portrayed it. These guys are destroying and assaulting supermarkets they are hurting our economy blocking transport and even newborns in ambulances have died because of these irrational and nonsensical blockades.
He's smoking nothing. He's snorting, it's Colombia after all
we have it in america ,just throw a realtive over the borderwall/fence and then boom start citizenship
@@alejandroelarq they are fighting for there rights and against oppression. U forget that the police is burning blowing up houses so your argument doesn’t make sense when the police and army is doing the same the difference is that the government and police are killing people and are attacking and using force chemical weapons in peace full protests the first protest they had was peace full no police officer got hurt but the police hurt and killed and sent protests to the hospital and put them in mass debt for life . The president is a dumbass who ruined his country destroyed democracy and now is mass killing civilians
@@alejandroelarq thats a very invalid point since the government is doing the same.
If you've ever read Animal Farm...you'll understand what Police are and what politicians are! Respect to these brave Colombians fighting for their rights!!! Solidarity ✊
I’ve been to Colombia several times and have many friends and people I would call my co workers living in Bogota. I always ask how they are doing and that I hope things get better. But I have not been for a few years and this video is so sad to see. A beautiful country with great people dealing with this. Much love to all Colombians!
I stand with any cause against injustice! 🙏🏽🇵🇸 🇨🇴

that minister of justice is just high off his mind.
All the members of the goberment are like that, actualy, the minister of defens is the worst
he is one of the wort ministers, they are just blind to everyone out of their social class
what trafficking narcotics does to you.. if you stare at money too long, it becomes a medusa effect
I thought he was drunk too.
Smh
Muchas gracias Señor Periodista, por mostrar al mundo el sufrimiento de mi Pueblo sin oportunidades, solo la élite del gobierno tienen oportunidad de Vivir bien.

Power to the people, rise up, stay united, and overcome.
Sending love from London.
gracias, if you can keep talking about it, it really helps us, the hole world needs to see what the government is doing to it´s people, all for the orders of Alvaro Uribe Velez
Let's hope whoever is taking over is not a clown. The world is facing tough COVID problem. Colombia needs someone competent not some sweet talker.
This is why the US citizens have guns.
@@texashunter940 Colombians have guns too
Cheers!
I hope you're making another video particularly about the disappearances!

As a former Marine, I don't make it a habit to pray, But I will pray for the people who simply want what I was born with...opportunity.
I'm Colombian. It is incredible that our people do not have opportunities in a country with so much wealth. Unfortunately mismanagement and corruption are the great problems that impoverish our beloved country. Thank you for your prayers.
The People of Colombia are literally rising up against a government installed by the US of A, the same sort of government the US has been attempting to install in countries like Bolivia and Venezuela. Your 'opportunity' is based on the US multinational corporations deeply exploiting the natural resources, industry and labor of countries just like Colombia and accumulating an immense wealth at the direct expense of the greater portion of the world. The People of Colombia are literally rising up against a government installed by the US. The EU does the same thing too, by the way. If you actually care, you should oppose US and EU Imperialism. You should also recognize why the US is friends with insane countries like Saudi Arabia and Israel, and yet the US always relies on heavy propaganda to demonize and impose embargoes against any country trying to become economically independent, in order to prepare to send people like you in to "occupy" the country.
@@ufodeath thanks for the lecture. You think the US is a democracy? Wake up! I can vote for whatever I want and the government will do whatever big corporations tell them to.
@@bigncornfed1 specially the Israeli lobby, they outshine the Corporations or perhaps they use them too. But saying this would be "anti semitic"
@@bigncornfed1 How did you manage to conclude the notion that I somehow think the US is a "democracy" out of me arguing that the US is an imperialist country that serves multinational corporations, and is at best only a democracy of the interest of the wealthy? says a lot about your character.
Fuerza a la primera linea ♡ first line forever saludos de Chile, sigan luchando que habran cambios!!!
As a Cuban American, I wish to see that one day Cubans will rise against the depression and daily suffering of his people. Viva Colombia y 🇨🇺
I wish I could share kind words of encouragement with everyone struggling and fighting against oppression, and for their freedoms all over the world. Watching you guys everyday gives me the courage and knowledge. May the ancestors continue to guide you all. Resistance!

All the best to columbian people from Poland
Are columbian's from Poland? I thought they were from Africa. - American student.
@@AT-ytinvasive ironically making fun of people from the USA while ignoring that Colombia is part of the American continent
@@philliposlemma6743 Please say you are being sarcastic? It's the South American continent! A whole other continent from the North American continent! Did you just prove my jibe? OMG.
@@AT-ytinvasive They are an amalgamation of Spanish, West African, and indigenous South American populations
@@AT-ytinvasive yes the America’s as in south and north, and regardless I don’t see why what the OP said is relevant to what you’re saying, it’s like you already have an idea in your mind that Americans are dumb, and nothing can change it. I’m not a fan of generalizations it’s just silly
The life for the average citizen in Colombia is rough to say the least. 60% of the country lives with less than US$2/day.
ZERO upward mobility, and an ultra wealthy ruling elite controlling the country.
Its amazing this didn't happen before
Go look up world Bank statistics, only 4.1% of Colombians live on less than USD $1.90 or less a day. You are clearly making up statistics being that far off.
@@mitch5775 can you plz give a link to ur source plz
@@basard6607 I can't link the source directly because it downloads the PDF automatically therefore youtube removes it as a potential virus. If you search "Colombia world bank" it will be under the domain data.worldbank.com
Literally not true but ok.
@@mitch5775 “78% of Colombians don’t have money to buy clothes, shoes or food” Real numbers for you. Majority of the money gets stolen by this corrupt government
This is comming to the US eventually. This is what bravery looks like. This is the kind of stuff we won't ever see on any of the US media outlets. Please keep up the good work. Thank you.
You want the usa to turn into a war zone? Sick that would make a good cod game.
This will never happen in USA
I am Colombian and the truth hurts a lot what happens in my country I hope we get out of all this, thank you for showing how Colombia really is
The thing that most impressed me was that reporter's Spanish, perfectly spoken and he even nas a natural accent.
Why would that impress you? He’s Colombian. 🤣
He's Colombian xd, fluent with English
@@greenlion6544 😅😅
Of course he speaks perfect Spanish he is HISPANIC.
To be fair, his last name is Noriega lmao

7:21 that man . It's your own people, the poor people that are tired of their government. Remember the French revolution buddy.
Yes I remember! It was the time the guillotines were used extensively
Let them eat cake 🎂 lol
Or the Bolshevik revolution, Haitian revolution as well as the countless others against the British Crown
stand up my latino brethren.
fight for the fights that you know are undeniable to you and everyone else. evil begets evil but good begets good.
