Summary
Just days before Colombia’s new president takes office, a deadly bombing in Cucuta shakes the nation—11 injured, including 8 police officers—amid a volatile political transition. With right-wing leader Abelardo de la Espriella set to replace leftist Gustavo Petro, tensions are high as the incoming administration vows tougher security and closer ties with the U.S. and Israel. The attack, timed near Petro’s silence while abroad and amid election-era violence, has sparked fears of targeted disruption—and authorities are offering a $32K reward to catch those behind it. As the inauguration shifts to Cali, a hotspot for armed conflict, Colombia braces for a new era of hardline policy against crime and gangs.
