On Sunday, marking the International Day of the Disappeared, families of missing persons gathered in Cúcuta, the capital of the Colombian department of Norte de Santander bordering Venezuela, to demand answers and action regarding thousands of disappeared individuals in the region.
Coinciding with these demonstrations, authorities reported that at least 137,000 people have vanished due to Colombia's armed conflict since 1921. According to the Unidad de Búsqueda, nearly half—48.5%—of these disappearances took place during the 2000s.
