Drugs kingpin arrested in Colombia so obviously everything is ok now

Except not really.

Colombia is experiencing a high level of civil unrest after the pandemic highlighted already glaring inequalities. Nabbing a known murderer/rapist/trafficker who no one likes anyway isn't going to solve this. It's phoney trophyism and is only being paraded around the global north because people there get a wee winkle twitch about anything to do with drugs despite it being a grinding grey subject for this particular supplier/producer country. AIBU to think that if the world is going to hear stories about Colombia they should be stories about what's happening there ie an uprising against corruption, rather than yet another bloody drugs story?

Most of Columbia's drug lords moved to Mexico a couple of decades ago so the problem just lives elsewhere till the various Authorities get themselves into action properly

Are there still protests going on? As in, part of what was happening earlier this year?
