One killed, six injured in Cali university riot over dead student
by Adriaan Alsema April 4, 2019
Clashes between police and students in Colombia’s third largest city, Cali, left one protester dead and six injured, the city’s security secretary confirmed Wednesday.
Students told local newspaper El Pais that the protest sought to reject the death of a fellow-student in an explosion that killed nine in the Dagua municipality where thousands of native Colombians have gathered in protest.

Also the protests organized by indigenous nations have been marred by unrest, but this violence has mainly been attributed to police and guerrilla groups.
The native Colombians, who also receive the support of black minority and peasant organizations, have been protesting for weeks in an attempt to force the government to respect their rights and comply with agreements made in the past.
