Colombian Declaration of Independence

All Colombians Globally will be marking the Colombian Independence this week,20th July 2021, Tuesday.

This year's event coincidentally happens on the same date as Muslims Eid Ul Adha.

The Colombian Embassy in Kenya is set to  Commemorate the day, being a public holiday in Kenya as well.

All Covid-19 Guidelines and Protocols will be highly observed.

Brief History

The Colombian Declaration of Independence refers to the events of July 20, 1810, in Santa Fe de Bogota, in the Spanish colonial Viceroyalty of New Granada. 

They resulted in the establishment of a Junta de Santa Fe that day. The experience in self-government eventually led to the creation of the Republic of Colombia.

(Note: The initial ambitious area, in accordance with the Viceroyalty of New Granada and Captaincy of Venezuela, included much more than current Colombia; to differentiate it, historians call this supra-nation: Republic of Gran Colombia.)

Wishing All Colombians a Wonderful Independence Day Week ahead!
