BOGOTA (Reuters) - Waving flags and dressed in white, thousands marched in Colombia's capital Bogota on Sunday to demand an end to protests and roadblocks, as well as to express support for security forces, following a month of demonstrations.

"They (the roadblocks) are taking the cities hostage. They are stopping the economy," Patricia Gonzalez, 45, said.
