Colombian Peace Affected By Venezuelan Crisis


Since Venezuelan immigrants are being seen Colombia, our country, has suffered this situation because of the fact the  that there was already a lot of unemployment here and with all Venezuelans coming to Colombia, looking for a way to support their families due to the issues that their country is experiencing, so they come to Colombia to look for work and what happens is that when Colombians look for positions they do not have  options because, people from other countries have already caused security threats to deteriorate peace.

Not only Colombia, but also Chile and other South Americans have helped Venezuelans with humanitarian aid, such as food, medicine, and hygiene products.

On the other hand, Colombia has not surrendered to help the Venezuelan people, even when the regime of Maduro  didn't let go through the humanitarian aid that Colombia wanted to pass to the neighboring country.

In Colombia, the word war has nothing good when they say it
because we  think of destruction, death and chaos. If this might happen between Colombia and Venezuela, it would be very bad because we would lose lives, since both sides have very good allies. Colombia would be very bad economically talking and we would end up owing to another country for helping us.

Colombia is not economically ready to invest in a war, and less with the situation we have where we see people like those in "La  Guajira", who are dying because they do not have neither water nor food.

In the case of Colombia, we have countries such as the United States that supports us to free Venezuela from Maduro's regime, but on Venezuelan side  Russia and China will support them. If this happened, I would be scared since both countries have very good support.


Hopefully, we wouldn't reach that limit if Maduro  realized the damage he is making to his country and its people and if he quits in good terms and prevents any kind of war from happening, as this one threatening us, not only affects positively the country of Venezuela and its inhabitants, but also other countries around them that are  invaded by their migrants, instead they should strive more to maintain their safety and welfare.
