Editor's Note: This assessment is part of a series of analyses supporting Stratfor's 2020 Annual Forecast. These assessments are designed to provide more context and in-depth analysis of key developments over the next quarter and throughout the year. Major demonstrations that have racked Colombia since Nov. 21 will continue into 2020, but will largely remain peaceful. The government of Colombian President Ivan Duque will struggle to come to terms with the protesters, and will become less politically effective amid ongoing unrest and as the security situation worsens in rural areas prone to militancy. The Nature of the Unrest Though partially inspired by protests elsewhere in Latin America, including those in Bolivia , Chile and Ecuador , the unrest in Colombia is rooted in longstanding issues.
