Indigenous communities in Colombia and Venezuela receive social and security outreach

In Colombia, the National Police conducted a community outreach meeting with the Cachaca Mejía indigenous community in Riohacha, La Guajira. Led by the Carabineros and Environmental Protection Section, the initiative aimed to strengthen communication, build trust, and improve citizen participation. Officers provided security recommendations and discussed environmental conservation, specifically regarding water usage, waste disposal, and the protection of local flora and fauna.

In Venezuela, a comprehensive social assistance deployment benefited 80 indigenous families in the Cinaruco axis of the Pedro Camejo municipality. The mission included medical services, free medication, social assistance, and the distribution of hygiene kits and hammocks. Authorities also organized an assembly with indigenous leaders to address community issues and prepare for upcoming popular consultations.
