[Colombia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Licensed taxi drivers in Sabaneta, Colombia protested on April 9, 2025, demanding government action against unlicensed and app-based transport services. The peaceful demonstration was part of coordinated strikes across multiple Colombian cities, though severity remains low.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Local transportation disruptions from taxi strikes could affect last-mile logistics in urban areas if protests expand or intensify.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of taxi strikes to major commercial centers like Bogotá or Medellín that could disrupt urban freight distribution
• Track whether protests escalate beyond peaceful demonstrations or gain broader labor movement support
