Colombia-Venezuela: Border fully reopens after years of diplomatic dispute - FRANCE 24

[TexasTowelie]

After a domestic dispute kept it closed for years, Venezuela and Colombia reopened the last stretch of their shared border on Sunday. Cars honked and passengers in vehicles with license plates from both countries waved flags as they crossed the Atanasio Girardot bridge, which was the final step for the full reopening of the borders since the countries restored diplomatic ties last year.

1. Tremendous news. The best. Wishing Colombia luck in keeping a democratic President.

The country has been suffering from violent, fascist, racist power mad "leaders" since the 1940's, and a long, filthy history of assassinations of progressive politicians, and a totally corrupt military serving at the behest of powerful landowners, their gangster politicians, and US-corporate/military interests which always served those using Colombia's natural resources and cheap, impoverished labor force.
