Latin America’s struggle with democratic backsliding

A former rebel (R), who now owns a clothing factory, oversees a worker in his workshop in Bogota in this photo taken on February 3, 2015. Fighters from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), which is currently in peace talks with the government to end 51 years of war, face a complicated path to employment and a life away from crime as they try to reintegrate into society. Demobilized rebels are popular recruits for crime gangs and will have to overcome prejudices to become economically independent after they graduate from government reinsertion programs.

Demonstrators march during the so-called "mother of all marches" against Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro in Caracas, Venezuela, April 19, 2017. Carlos Garcia Rawlins: "That day was one of the biggest rallies up to then. There were thousands of people trying to find their way to the office of the state ombudsman after gathering in more than two dozen points around Caracas. But as in previous rallies, they were blocked by the National Guard. Waving the country's yellow, blue and red flag and shouting 'No more dictatorship' and 'Maduro out,' demonstrators clogged a stretch of the main highway in Caracas. I remember the desperation of the people trying to escape the tear gas and not having space to run because there were so many."
