WELL, GOOD: Colombia notifies Unasur of its decision to withdraw over Venezuela crisis.

The President of Colombia announced Monday that his government has notified the Union of South American Nations (Unasur) of its decision to withdraw from the bloc as the South American organization failed to denounce Venezuela’s “brutal treatment” of its citizens.

“I want to inform the Colombians that today, with precise instructions, the Foreign Minister of the Republic sent Unasur the letter where we denounce the constituent treaty of that entity and in six months the withdrawal of Colombia from this organization will be effective”, President Ivan Duque told media.

30 years ago, Colombia was the basket case and Venezuela was one of the richest countries in South America. Now that their roles are reversed, the rest of South America should be looking to Bogota, not Caracas, for an example of good governance.
