Colombian authorities have ordered the temporary militarization of Cúcuta following a surge in violence, per The City Paper Bogotá. The move aims to stabilize the border region amid escalating criminal activity.
In a separate development, Bogotá's National Museum has resumed exhibiting pieces removed by government order after a court ruling, EFE reports. The return marks a significant step in the ongoing debate over cultural heritage and political control.
