political division

Celebrations for America’s 250th anniversary are underway in the nation’s capital despite sweltering heat, heavy security, and protests. Thousands are expected to attend the historic event.

Colombia's high-stakes presidential election on Sunday features three main candidates: Ivan Cepeda advocating for left-wing social reforms, Paloma Valencia pushing a centrist-right shift, and Abelardo De La Espriella promoting a hardline security agenda. Rising violence, inflation, and political division are key concerns, with a possible runoff if no candidate secures a majority.
