EPM Briefing: Bogotá robbery, Dominican border, Colombia expels 27

The day's five verified stories: an armed robbery attempt confronted in Los Andes, Bogotá; Abinader addresses the Haitian border; the DBS podcast explains…

Streets, borders and remembrance: the five stories shaping the day. 1. Colombia: A man pointed a firearm at a citizen in the Los Andes neighborhood of Bogotá on Wednesday, October 21, at 1:24 p. m. The citizen confronted him, they struggled, and the armed man fled on a motorcycle with another man. There is no official statement and no reported captures. 2. Dominican Republic: Luis Abinader will address security on the Dominican-Haitian border this Monday at three in the afternoon in La Agenda Semanal, joined by the defense minister, the foreign minister, and senior military commanders, amid the alleged kidnapping of four Salvadoran military technicians in Haiti and a military reinforcement on the southern border. 3. United Kingdom: The DBS launched the third series of its safeguarding podcast, with 6 episodes available from 26 October devoted to its barring function: the legal duty to refer, the definition of harm, information sharing with the ICO and a 5-stage decision process that includes the right to make representations. 4. Colombia: Colombia expelled and deported 27 foreign citizens linked to criminal activities, in an offensive coordinated by Migración Colombia and the National Police and announced by President Abelardo De La Espriella. In Arauca, twenty-one people were taken into custody and transferred to the Paraguachón border post, in La Guajira, for handover to the Venezuelan authorities; the records include eight judicial annotations in one case and fifty-five corrective measures in another. 5. United Kingdom: Private Percy Tolliday of the Middlesex Regiment was buried at Warlencourt alongside two unknown comrades after DNA from his great nephew, who travelled from Atlanta, made his identification possible and closed a wait that began with the Battle of the Somme. 📌 Editor's note: five stories setting the pulse of the week, from Bogotá to the Somme.
