[Colombia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On March 31, 2025, approximately 800 Indigenous protesters from Cauca department marched to Bolivar Square in Bogotá, demanding government solutions for violence and insecurity affecting their territories. The demonstration was classified as peaceful with low severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether similar protests spread to regions with greater economic infrastructure.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation or expansion of Indigenous protests to other Colombian departments, particularly those with significant mining or agricultural operations
• Track government response and whether demands for territorial security improvements lead to broader social unrest
