Thousands of farmers have taken to the streets of the Colombian capital to vent their anger at President Juan Manuel Santos. They say his government has failed to meet its promises of help after Santos made a deal with striking farmers earlier this year. Farmers say they are sliding further into poverty as they sell crops below production costs. Al Jazeera's Alessandro Rampietti reports from Bogota.
