[Colombia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Students and parents in Acacias, Meta department, Colombia blocked a rural road on March 31, 2025, protesting suspended school transportation services due to lack of departmental funding. The demonstration was characterized 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. The rural road blockade between Acacias and San Isidro de Chichimene could temporarily disrupt local agricultural transport if protests continue, though the peaceful nature and education-focused grievances suggest limited duration.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation if authorities fail to address transportation funding concerns, which could lead to broader regional protests
• Track whether similar education-related demonstrations emerge in other Meta department municipalities
