[Colombia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 9, 2025, indigenous workers and Wayuu leaders blocked two roads near Manaure in Colombia's La Guajira department, protesting five months of unpaid salaries from the national statistics agency. The demonstration appears localized 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. If confirmed, the road blockages could temporarily disrupt local transport between Manaure, Uribia, and Riohacha in La Guajira, though the protest's focus on wage disputes suggests limited duration.

Watch points

• Monitor for independent news coverage confirming the road blockages and their duration
• Track whether the protest expands beyond the immediate Manaure area or involves additional indigenous groups in La Guajira
