Venezuelan migrants block Bogota road, demand to travel homeA large crowd of Venezuelan migrants held up traffic on a Bogota highway on Wednesday, demanding to be allowed to leave Colombia and return to Venezuela. The mass movement of thousands of Venezuelans back to their economically devastated country has been triggered by a coronavirus lockdown in Colombia, which has made it exceedingly difficult for them to earn a living. Venezuela has said 600 people are allowed to cross the border each day, to allow for testing and organizing of quarantines.
