‘You might die because you desire peace’: Colombians split on protests

Guardian readers in Colombia comment on scenes of violence while some say they can finally speak their minds as others believe the unrest has gone too far

We know we must take urgent steps to generate hope and a future for our youth," Duque said during a brief visit to Cali, a city of over 2 million that has beeen the setting for violent clashes.
