Colombian governors declare rebellion against Bogotá

Four coastal Colombian provinces declared a state of rebellion on Tuesday as they demand that the government fulfill promises made to alleviate the effects of flooding and severe weather in their regions.

The governors of Magdalena, Bolivar, Cesar and Atlantico met to define a package of projects and demands that up to now have fallen on deaf ears at the Bogota-based national government led by President Juan Manuel Santos.
