The United States has launched a controversial military campaign against boats suspected of drug smuggling in the Pacific, leading to widespread outrage and condemnation.
Colombia has called on the U.S. to halt these strikes, labeling them as acts of murder after reports of significant casualties, including at least 37 deaths.
The initiative, associated with former President Donald Trump, represents a drastic escalation in the U.S. government's efforts to combat drug trafficking and cartels.
Concerns are mounting over the legality of these actions, with critics questioning the evidence used to justify such aggressive military operations.
The strikes are part of a broader narrative about U.S. drug policy in collaboration with Colombia, highlighting ongoing tensions in their international relationship.
As this war against drug smuggling advances, the humanitarian implications and the impact on civilian lives have become central to the debate surrounding the operation.
