The flow of thousands of migrants daily through the treacherous migratory highway, the Darien Gap, has been cut off following the capture of a number of boat captains who had been ferrying the migrants to the starting point of their jungle trek.
The stoppage began when Colombian law enforcement captured two boat captains in the northern city of Necoclí on Monday. The companies that employed them halted all transport services in protest, effectively cutting off the officially estimated 2,000 people a day that enter the jungled passage hoping to reach the United States.
It has led to a build up of as many as 8,000 people waiting to cross between Colombia and Panama, the Colombia’s Ombudsman’s Office confirmed Thursday. The office, a governmental human rights watchdog, has warned that the buildup could “overwhelm the health system, food supply, among other things."

OMG, there must be a way to help these poor people head North, this is TOTALLY INHUMANE!!!!
(the problem is that people who think like the above are allowed to vote, at least since the 19th Amendment passed)
I’m with the group that says the boat captains didn’t pay the ‘right’ people
A few A-10s would help stem the flow as well......
Were they getting ready to talk?
Consider the source! Stopped my behind …they just showed photos of thousands marching towards our border.
duly dipped dunked and smeared in the appropriate infectious material on hand.
No worries, there’s MILLIONS of the Biden Re-election Army ALREADY HERE.
right. they have every government from colombia to mexico actively facilitating this.
i don’t believe it will be stopped for long. it is clearly a critical part of plan to keep the System in power here.
This time my tiny wee violin is not at the cleaners but too sweet smelling to risk getting it messy over this ...
Disappointing, I know...
maybe next time...
