Colombia fears Ecuador border controls effect on Venezuelan exodus

Bogota said Friday it was "worried" that tightened Ecuadorian entry requirements for Venezuelans fleeing an economic and political crisis would leave thousands stranded in Colombia. Ecuador announced on Thursday that Venezuelans entering the country would need to show passports from Saturday onwards, a document many are not carrying. "We're talking about 3,000 people a day, just Venezuelans" crossing into Ecuador alone from the border town of Rumichaca, said Colombia's migration director Christian Kruger.
