TL;DR Summary

Four Indigenous children survived 40 days in the Colombian jungle after their plane crashed in the Amazon rainforest. The children had boarded the plane to flee an armed group that had seized control of their home region in southern Colombia. The oldest of the children, Lesly, 13, played the role of guide and mother to her siblings, helping them navigate the forest. The rescue of the children has provided a rare moment of unified celebration in a deeply divided nation, with broad swaths of society, from left to right, praising the work of the search team.
