At least 19 people are dead after protests in Colombia. And there are fears that the number could be higher as dozens of people are missing. Demonstrators filled the streets after the government proposed a tax hike on a country that's already been suffering, with more than 42% of the population living in poverty. The tax hikes would raise prices on basic necessities like food and gas. Colombia is also facing one of the worst coronavirus outbreaks in the world.More Related News
