Violence and instability in Colombia, Venezuela, and Hondur

Overview

Reports indicate diverse forms of violence and instability across Colombia, Venezuela, and Honduras. In the Honduras region, significant issues have been documented regarding gender-based violence and human trafficking. Between 2024 and August 2026, Honduras recorded 32,277 complaints of violence against women, with survivors facing institutional weakness and “revictimization.” Along the Colombia-Venezuela border, human trafficking has been identified as a critical threat, particularly affecting Venezuelan migrants due to poverty and the presence of armed groups like the ELN and FARC dissidents.

Parallel incidents of military-related violence have also been reported. In Colombia, a shooting at the Tarqui Artillery Battalion resulted in two deaths and one injury. In Venezuela, a soldier opened fire at the Santo Domingo Air Base, killing three people. Additionally, in Honduras, an explosion involving unidentified objects during reforestation activities injured eight soldiers.
