Careful tomorrow???

Got a call today from a friend in Miami who is colombian. He's saying tomorrow is scary from a terror point as it's independence day??? Any other's have worried family/ friends there??

He's saying he asked his family to stay off the street......??

Frank....According to a friend in security for my company in Bogota, there's been activity in the past on Independence Day, therefore could be a bit more dangerous going out tomorrow. Would be prudent to be a bit more cautious than usual. He's taking extra precautions tomorrow.

houstongal says on Jul 19, 2007, 21:20:

I guess I should clarify that my company has an executive in town, thus the extra precautions.

goin_south says on Jul 19, 2007, 21:21:

sounds like a good idea.
Do they do fireworks in Colombia on Independence Day? I 'frankly' can't remember, even after being around here for a few years, now. And, I kow they were beginning to (at least threaten to) 'crack' down fireworks on New Year's Eve, a few years back... or, so that was the story in Pasto.

It kinda sucks, eh.... you can't go out and about, in your own country on that country's independence day? Maybe they should have an (or call it) Non-Independence Day. They haven't had independence for over forty years now.

goin_south says on Jul 19, 2007, 21:24:

I would be a lil suspect of going out in Cali, as for myself, if I were there. And, although I have said I felt quite secure in Bogota a few weeks back, .... you can't forget about the lil mess they made back around the inaugaration last year.

goin_south says on Jul 19, 2007, 21:31:

I wouldn't be going out (or, _south) in Valledupar, either...en la manana.... I would seek rather to hide away with a few of the Vup Senoritas.... they might hurt you, but it will be more fun that getting schrapnel in your eye.

bufalo says on Jul 19, 2007, 22:37:

Seems a bit overlycautious to me. sounds like one of the paranoids that left the country and now thinks things are running rampant. Even if there were fireworks, it wouldn't be as dangerous as the immaculate conception in december when the kids always get burned. That's two days we tend to stay inside. the whole city is under a cloud of smoke.

(goin_south) "you can't forget about the lil mess they made back around the inaugaration last year."
What mess? Did I miss something or are you referring to the inauguration of president Uribe on August 7th in 2002? On Independence Day in 2005 I went with my niece to the parade on Carrera 7 in Bogotá. It was nice to see, very very very busy... a lot to see. And after that a huge crowd of people on Carrera 7 between Plaza Bolivar and Parque Nacional. That day was ideal for walking in the city because most streets were empty. We walked the whole afternoon from Plaza Bolivar, in an L-form (avoiding deserted places) to Bulevar Niza near Calle 127.
Greetings,

goin_south says on Jul 20, 2007, 00:46:

that's right, I think, thur.. 'AROUND' the time of inaugaration... I believe there was someone set off a lil bomb there wherever they were expecting Uribe to appear. Can't remember the specifics, and it probably doesn't matter anyway, because tomorrow will likely come and go without incident.

:) thanks.

goin_south says on Jul 20, 2007, 15:28:

so, has anything of significance happened today, in Colombia, that was uncalled for??? Any thing? What about in Cali? that is where I would suspect problems. sorry, arthur.... I hope I'm wrong.
