Colombian president announced children’s meeting 22 days ago

On May 18, the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, had announced on his Twitter account the meeting of the four children of the Uitoto indigenous ethnic group who were inside the plane. Hours later, however, he used the same platform to recant the lack of confirmation of the location of survivors. Twenty-two days later, the good news was confirmed.

At the time, he wrote:

“I’m sorry for what happened. The Armed Forces and indigenous communities will continue to seek tirelessly to give the country the news everyone has been waiting for. Now, there is no higher priority than advancing the searches until you find them. The lives of children are the most important thing.”

I have decided to delete the trill because the information provided by the ICBF could not be confirmed. I’m sorry about what happened. The Military Forces and the indigenous communities will continue in their tireless search to give the country the news it is waiting for.

In this…
