[Colombia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 2, 2025, over 200 Awa Indigenous people blocked the Pasto-Tumaco road in Ricaurte municipality, Narino, Colombia, protesting the government's failure to register their association in official indigenous registries. The intermittent roadblock was ongoing as of April 4, 2025.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether the roadblock disrupts regional transportation networks connecting Colombia's Pacific coast to interior regions.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of protests to other indigenous communities or escalation that could affect broader transportation networks in Narino department
• Track government response and negotiation progress, as resolution could prevent similar blockades on other regional routes
