Colombia

Just a short while ago a portion of armed forces from Colombia chased some sort of a criminal over the boarder, and thus entered Ecuador with armed forces without asking permission. The whole thing has really gotten kind of out of hand, and Venezuela has already declared itself on Ecuador's side. This is all a little personal, as the Colombian border is just about a 4 hour drive from my house.
All this happened very quickly, and I hadn't even heard about it until a little while ago. I doubt anything to serious will happen, and everyone here still goes on with everything they do just as before, but it´s still a little scary.
