independence day


Today is Colombian's independence day. People around the world celebrated the birth of our nation with concerts, marches, and a united cry for freedom. I couldn't be prouder of how far my beautiful country has come.
President Uribe was accompanied by the President of Peru and Brazil during Colombian's celebration. The three of them united with Shakira and Carlos Vives in Leticia to ask the FARC for the liberty of all the Colombians that remain in the jungle. Leticia is the capital of of the department of Amazonas, Colombia's southernmost town. Click here to watch.
In Paris, Ingrid Betancourt, Miguel Bose, and Juanes asked for the liberty of the remaining hostages. Click here to watch.
