A KEY ELEMENT OF DURABLE SOLUTIONS FOR VENEZUELANS
Somos Panas Colombia se lanzó el 20 de diciembre de 2017 y tiene como eje de acción una estrategia de contenidos para reducir las manifestaciones de xenofobia y promover la solidaridad de los colombianos hacía los venezolanos en Colombia. El planteamiento estratégico de la campaña es evidenciar que los venezolanos son PERSONAS que TUVIERON que salir de su país y AGRADECEN la acogida en Colombia.
I. SITUATION OVERVIEW
The Low Pressure Area (LPA) outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility has entered the PAR at 10:00 AM today. At 11:00 AM, 19 January 2019, the LPA was estimated based on all available data at 860 km East of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur (7.7 °N, 134.1 °E). This weather disturbance has no direct effect on any part of the country at the moment. However, it is still likely to develop into a Tropical Depression (TD) in the next 36 hours.
The campaign's strategic approach is to show that Venezuelans are PEOPLE who HAD to leave their country and, who are THANKFUL for being accepted in Colombia.

It is therefore a shame if national parliaments keep giving the green light to continued sales of military equipment to the Saudi-led coalition.
